your principle is sound, "splitting the sticks" as it's called does work, im a navigation officer with a large cruise line, it's how we manoeuvre the older smaller boats. - now I have 3 azipods to spin about
If you could reverse one of the props, this would help a lot for example if turning to the right, reverse the right / Stbd prop, ahead with the left / port prop, rudder won't have that much effect on a cat but it will swing very nice. - also inward / outward props have a big effect on transverse thrust outward being preferable.
