It also has a Gyro heading below, what is that for?

thank you.
Here's a nice little diagram explaining exactly what's going on in a torpedo attack:



A gyro heading is the direction the torpedo will travel in to reach the ship you're shooting at. That would be the heading of the torpedo track in the above diagram. Those are the three numbers below the notepad in the game. If you're shooting from the front tubes, you ideally want that number to be between 355 and 005 degrees. That means the gyro angle of the torpedo is small, meaning it doesn't have to turn much once it leaves the torpedo tube. the greater the gyro angle, the lower the success rate of the torpedo attack.
