Question regarding spread.

Perhaps I missed this somewhere, but how exactly do you fire more then a single tube? I'm more used to the SH3 interface but I don't quite know how to fire a spread of torpedos, which is somewhat annoying. I noticed the spread angle, but that's not exactly helpful if I'm firing a single torpedo.

I hate it when a developer makes a sequel and fixes something that just ain't broken.

My apologies if this information is posted elsewhere, I'm in a bit of hurry today.

You can't. You have to fire one tube, rotate the spread nob, fire the next, etc.

US Subs,as far as I know, did not have the capability to fire salvo's like German U-Boats. Each Torpedo had to have the spread dialed in immediatly prior to firing.
It might be annoying but it is realistic,but once you get used to it it's really an efficient method when used with the PK.

Ah, bugger. Well, that's a pain in the ass. I already tried using the spread dial and just screwed everything up. I forgot to reset it back to zero and I spent the better part of the patrol trying to figure out why my torpedos kept missing.

Oh, well. I'll figure it out eventually
