"Fast 90" is when you set yourself up at a perfect 90 degree angle, around 800m from the path of travel of your target. Depending on it's speed you'll fire around 10-20 degrees before they reach 0 (depending on their direction of travel).

What's nice about this is three things. 1) range doesn't matter, it's all angles so range cancels out 2) you preset everything in your TDC and don't touch it. Set Range to 800, set AOB to 90, set speed to whatever they are moving at then 3) watch the Gyroangle. It'll read 000 when your periscope is pointing at the proper bearing so that whatever it's pointing at will be hit by the time that part hits 000 bearing from your ship. The torpedo simply swims in a straight line.

I'd posted a picture of this kind of attack in the screenshot thread.
