Need help shooting two targets at the same time.

"then lock on too the second one, click range, speed, AOB on the TDC all over again. It seems like that is a lot of work and precious time if the info is exactly the same."

The range, speed, and AOB should be close enough that all you should need to do is lock the second target and click the "Send range and bearing to TDC" button. You can also use the "seaman's eye" (AKA Kentucky Windage) to compensate, set the crosshairs just ahead of or just behind the target and click the "Send range and bearing to TDC" button. Main thing is (1) make sure the outer doors are open before starting the attack, if you let the automatic gadget open the outer doors for you it does NOT update the gyro angles to compensate for the firing delay so it's a guaranteed miss. (2) fire a spread, either by using the gyro angle offset or (better) shifting the scope a few degrees and clicking the "Send range and bearing to TDC" button again between each shot. And (3) when you think you're close enough get closer - you'll get a lot more hits at 500-1000 yard range than you will at 3000 yards because the target has less time to see the wakes and maneuver to avoid the fish.
