Hitting a ship with torpedoes is a lot like shooting at a moving target. If the target ship is stopped and directly in front of you, your torpedoes will run straight to it. If the target ship is moving then the Torpedo Data Computer will calculate an impact point for the torpedo based on the range to target, target speed, target course, and torpedo speed.
