I missed several shots at a task force. The problem was that I attacked at night. It is impossible to get a good aspect ratio when it is dark unless you do so by luck. I tried several times. When I check the Attack Map to verify my firing solution, my torpedo angle was fine, but the direction of the ship was pointing to 0 degrees north rather 30 degrees, which was the direction of the target. Of course the shot missed.

You need a good aspect ratio to hit a ship regardless if you have locked its position via the speed and AoB mod adjustments. That is a law of the submarine warfare and I think we are stuck with it. My night periscope on the TMO/RSRDC mod did not save me here.
