Hmmm.... that's weird... Did you have the TDC on or off? In SH5 terminology, TDC off means that the TDC is not linked to the movement of the periscope.
One other thing is that SH5 resets the AOB when you take a "speed" reading. This can cause huge problems at short range.
The best advice would be to get TheDarkWraith's TDC interface which shows the TDC dials. You'll be able to see what's going wrong as you can clearly see the gyro angle. As a rule, for a target with 0 speed, if you point the periscope at 180, the number 5 tube should show a gyro of 0 (or 360). Then again some torpedoes did have faulty gyros or got their rudders stuck and thus became "circle runners".
