Generally your advice is good. This one point needs fixing though. If your torpedoes run about 250-350m they will have time to arm. So the only time you need to be 600m away when firing is when the target is coming directly at you at speed.
I routinely take perpendicular shots when the target is only about 450-550m away. When the target is moving away from me, I might take a shot at 250m with torpedo speed set at slow.
