Once you have a solution you like you can fire "anytime" the more accurate the solution the less chance of a miss.

What I do is I look at the attack map and wait for the torpedo track to almost 90 with the targets track and then switch to scope, or fire from the attack map if there is only one target.

Remember 90 for the track may not be in front of your boat, you can be angled as much as 35 degrees from 90 (someone check me on this) and still have a solution which when fired at the right moment will hit 90 to the target.

I sometimes add a half to 1.5 degrees spread angle in the direction of target travel depending on distance to account for a target speed change near impact. Ussually only needed on smaller vessels like DDs or small passenger ships.

If you are consistently missing I'd check to make sure you have the correct targets speed.
