In the software I don't see why this is a big deal (not having programmed for a long time). The virtual door translates into a delay prior to firing. So all you have to do is turn on/off the delay on each tube as the doors open/close and keep track of status.

However, if this was done I would also like to see (if not present already) the increased chance of flooding if an outerdoor is left open during a depth-charge attack. My understanding is that the tube caps and inner door were no where as strong for resisting blast compression waves as the outer doors were.
