All degrees are calculated from the aiming point (center).

All true but it might be useful to mention how x and y are determined. If I am reading it correctly, Wazoo's tutorial says that for a two or three torpedo spread, x is 1/2 the spread angle input on the TDC.

For a four torpedo spread, he's a little less clear but it would seem that y = 2x and y = 1/3 the spread angle input in the TDC.
