I would lock on to the target, and make an adjustment on the "torpedo settings" slide-out screen. Eyeball the adjustment (5, 7, 13, etc degrees) and fire. That would make the torpedo track further to the left or right than what the auto-target plot initially called for.

I didn't know you could make manual adjustments when using auto targeting.
Sound to me like you're ready to go full-on manual.
Do you know how to use the mission editor to give yourself some practice setups? That's how I learned.
First I made one with my sub pointing North and in the position I needed for the attack, and the ship far away, moving right into my firing range directly in front of me, at 90 AOB. Since I built the mission, I knew his ship type, speed, range, and course already. All I really had to do was enter that known data into the TDC and fire at the right time.
Then I began making the missions more and more complex, adding new elements each time until I was comfortable heading out on patrol.
There is an excellent .pdf manual for the mission editor
here. And also a good (but simpler) tutorial in
this thread.
