Always set the torpedoes to maximum speed.

Ideally you are 800 to 1000 meters from the target at 90 degrees to the targets course line.
AOB is 90 degrees port or starboard needs entering in the TDC.
Lock on to the target using the space bar, unlocked the space bar, positioned the periscope so both gyro angles are vertical.
You need the targets speed to be entered in the TDC.
You do not need to know the range, although a range up to 1200 meters needs to be entered in the TDC.
You do not need to identify the target.
Fire when the target enters the cross hairs.
If you are beyond 1000 meters I would suggest finding the Range manually.
You must have the tube doors open or you will miss the target
Check that you have set a torpedo depth, torpedo speed and your firing position periscope angle from zero is correct to the gyro dials..

if you are using the normal wet heater steam type of torpedo it is actually forbidden to set the torpedo speed to max (44 knots)

this is because it was found to overload the engine lol

but in game wise i highly doubt its represented.... in OH II it surely isnt
