you never mentioned calculating the target's speed....maybe that's why you keep missing.

edit: nevermind...i see you are talking about a non-moving target....although it might still be moving with the current? 1 to 2 kts?

if you are at a long enough range...it will still give it time to move out of the way of the torpedo's path.

and yes, always double check the gyro angle and be sure it makes sense. a non-moving target can make the TDC calculate some weird things sometimes.
