The only things that will make the torpedoes turn the wrong way is if you are entering starboard AoB for port or port for starboard, or if you are not pressing the send button when you send the AoB.

You can't put in negative speed, so the speed input can't make the torpedo turn the wrong way. The range only affects how sharp the turn is, not the direction.

So your problem is in the AoB input. Either you're reversing port and starboard or you aren't pressing the send button and have residual data from your last attack.

Play around with the thing using your attack screen to check out your setup fefore you shoot. If it doesn't show the torpedo going out ahead of the target, play with the settings until it looks right there. Then you'll know exactly what's wrong.

Some screenshots of your attack screen showing the problem would be helpful too.

OK, looking at your original question, you say the torpedoes turn 30-40º starboard. If the target is moving 6 knots at a 90º AoB, your lead angle is less than 10º. It would not be possible with 6 knots in the TDC for the torpedo to turn 30º in either direction.
