Hi Armistead,
I don't think it was going to sink. It definitely took the amount of damage I said, as I was absolutely amazed. It was only the arrival of a DD which forced me under or I'd have carried on shooting her. She was making about 8 kts with a list that put her port rail under water. By this time I'd been chasing her for about 4 hours from first impact. Pretty ridiculous to be honest.
As for the "aiming", it's exactly as Munchausen says. I'm lining up the cross hairs where I want the torp to hit, but not pressing "L". The little indicator arrow comes up, red, yellow or green as you say still, so i think I'm doing it right and it does seem, by and large, to work.
The crashing seems to occur when I try do something with TC on. It's only occurred a couple of times, once when I had TC way high, like 7k+ and hit rudder left by accident, and last nights was I think about 528TC and I hit crash dive. I didn't expect "Crash" to be taken literally! I've got a brand new Steam install, and my drivers etc should be up to date, but I will check. Don't think it is a problem, I'm ok with a game crashing so long as I know what to avoid doing to make it so!
Again, thanks for the help.
