The required AoB precision depends on the range you´re intending to launch a torpedo. In the early days of war you can always stalk your prey at 750-1000m and shoot Torpedos when your target is "crossing the T", with an AoB of +/-90° depending on what direction your enemie's bow is pointing.
The most important thing to know about the AoB dial is that the Sub in the centre is your target and the arrow you move around it is your position relative to the target's bow.
Hope that helps a bit manual TDC is just a matter of practise.

P.S.: The Stadimeter readout is quite uncertain, especially in rough seas, it´s more precise to plot the target's course on the map and use the map tools to measure the distance. ...you only need to know the distance from where you intend to launch the weapon, otherwise it gets a little nasty plotting positions of (multiple) targets.
