Default pitot tube to measure speed and bernuoilli, aeronautics

im studying the pitot tube right now and its interesting it appears in my favourite sim

basically its two tubes filled witha fluid

one tube faces the wind while the other is perpendicular to the wind

that makes the speed of the wind in one tube zero while in other whatever wind speed there is

that makes different pressures on each tube so measuring height you know your speed

my question:

would it be the same if you put the tube perpendicular to the wind parallel to it?

in other words:

a tube is facing the wind other is opposing the wind, /= or =/

in both speed of wind is 0

so do both get same height of fluids?

i know this is not in textbooks




edit:

how would it work if one tube faced the wind and the other opposed it instead of being perpendicular?
