I don't mean this in any offensive way, but it sounds like either (like propbeanie said) you don't have your aft torpedo selected when you are inputting the information OR, you don't have your sub's stern facing the enemy. The rear tubes (if you already know this I'm just making sure you do) fire backwards.

In fact I checked and you can input everything the same firing forward or backward BUT (I think this might be what's throwing you off) you need the AOB set to what it would be if your STERN was the front of your boat. Not to what the AOB is to your Bow.

An easy way to make sure you AOB is correct is to find the targets course in the nav map, set your AOB and check in the top left, make sure the targets BOW indicator points to the targets course on the course marker. ALSO make sure you click TWICE when inputting AOB you'll see the arrow move both times.
