Torpedo attacks - semi easy mode?

Weird question, just wondering are the torpedo attacks accurate or is there a "help" variable of some sort.

The reason I ask is I was playing with another crew, and I was just learning, running the hydrophones, but the guy running the TDC, rather than set up for a 90 degree attack, insisted on driving behind the ship, following it's course, and firing torpedoes like this with AOB of (I guess) 180 ish..
I always learned that this would be a very low percentage shot, (I even commented that maybe we should take a side shot), however, we were hitting the ships every time, so I could not correct him

My question is, does the game have some "zone" or something that allows the torpedoes to hit or was this guy just that good?

In all of the SH series, I've tried rear shots many times, and very rarely am I successful.
