I usually leave the initial setting unchanged and just start firing.
All things considered, and considering past experiences with salvo shots (not good btw) I think I'll change how I 'salvo'.

For whatever reason, almost always if I salvo fire multiple torpedoes I very rarely have them all hit. I'm careful to adjust the spread angle so that the spread width at point of impact is around 70% of the total hull length, but it seems as if the lead torpedo, instead of striking forward of the aimed point, impacts at the aimed point. Which means the trailers are hitting further and further behind. It's only when I'm at 1.500 meters or less that they seem to all impact.

So I think what I'll do from now on for salvo firing is independently set the speeds, depths and pistol settings the same for the torpedoes I want to salvo-fire, open all the doors first, then simply 'walk' my aiming points from bow to stern, firing as I go.

That's precisely what I do Albrecht
