Need help shooting two targets at the same time.

Yeah, I'm familiar with "Kentucky Windage", my oldest son was a US Army artilleryman (motto, Ready, Fire, AIM!). IIRC it was Edward L Beach himself who used the "angle-off" method, guesstimate the speed, set range at 1000, speed and AOB in the TDC to zero so you have a zero gyro angle, then fire when the target hits the crosshairs 10 to 15 degrees left or right (depending on estimated speed and crossing direction). Instead of firing a spread, fire all tubes on the same bearing but spaced out 10-15 seconds apart, the motion of the target takes care of the spread all by itself.

I still find it much faster to shift scope, click send button, and fire than to turn the whole sub.
