Attacking two targets simutaneously?

[AngronIsAngry]

There are two tutorial videos about Multi-Targeting by Tale in the Bag of Tricks post http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=146795

One of the tricks I've tried before is, simply keep aiming at the target that you've identified, and then record the angle difference between the center of that target and the second one. When you fire your fish, spread half of them so that they go for your second target.

Or, if you can't get both at the same time, take out one, make a retreating run, wait until they're a safe distance away, then surface and do an end-around, get ahead of them again, and pick off the second one.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Yes indeed! I used to apply this technique often. It does however, take careful and very accurate planning to pull it off correctly and requires proper use of the PK, but is a very satisfiying kill if pulled off successfully. Fire one to the left, one to the right and repeat! Often times the ships are too far apart to allow this tecnique even at maximum spread angles. Also, it usually requires shots from long range due to the spread angle limitations, which makes it very difficult, but fun.
