(what's that I hear? They blow up by themselves anyway?:rotfl Their spread setting was global, applying to all tubes and needed to be reset for each shot, just like you are complaining about.....just like THEY undoubtedly complained about.

Well, actually they did not complain because they just learned to work the system. (And let me inject the tater argument that from the Captain's viewpoint he just ordered the spread and the crew took care of the nasty details.) American crews didn't have your experience so to them it was just the way things worked.

See, you guys are spoiled by the one feature of a U-boat that could arguably be called superior: not having to hit the send button for bearing info to get to the TDC. But I'm here to tell you that is no advantage at all!

Please have a seat and load up my tutorial on the Dick O'Kane attack method, which you'll find strangely familiar. But note the critical differences between U-boat and American procedure that really show the advantage of the American TDC. For instance you can aim the torpedo and then look elsewhere all you want without screwing up your aim! It's all what you're used to.

Report back and let us know whether you still think that salvo mode is all that superior, or did the Americans really have something worthwhile there?

See above...its a whole different animal...plus as the history relates; their's a torpedo shortage so 1-2 fish per ship folks...and if its a small freighter just one fish! Whats up with this spread business....was margarine already around in '41?:rotfl:
