That's why my deal is that waiting an hour is better than schlepping two weeks back to port for more torpedoes. Yes, you can do spreads and hit them but the cost just doesn't make sense.

I seems like the only legitimate method suggested so far to conserving torpedoes and not just "best guessing" firing solutions.

I didn't know if someone actually had come up with a method by actually taking readings at certain times and come up with a solution to solve this problem.

Something like this is what the SUBMARINE TORPEDO FIRE CONTROL MANUAL
