I don't think you need historic literature on the subject to try non-90 methods.
The 90-degree method is the most reliable, primarily because you control the tactical situation. You overtake the ship/convoy, lie in wait, have sufficient time to make calculations (plus double-check), and the entire length of the ship is your margin of error in case you misjudge slightly.

Well, when you read Iron Coffins, man it sounds like they were shooting from any which angle as they stumbled on ships in convoys.
With fixed wire, you basically have to aim the submarine. I'm certain that this is not necessary if you understand the range, speed, AoB and bearing.
I just don't understand how it all works together.
