The original question was about a merchant as target, right?
In the situation you describe I would wait for the target to pass over me wait until I can't see him any more (as a rough "indicator" for torp arming distance) and then shoot the accoustic (aft tube). In any case a 0/180 bearing- 0/180 AOB situation should be avoided. A small angle between the topr's initial track and the target's path would probably assist "homing in".
