yes, but the watch should have a pretty nice delay, as should the bridge to decide what the best course of action is. i mean ordering full ahead when the torpedo is speeding towards your bow is pretty stupid when its close. also maybe turning helps, so they must figure the best course of action, which isnt instant.
also, what ive come to see is the retarted idea that if you aim at a target and fire without locking, the TDC picks the course FOR you, which often times screws up the shot immensely. plenty of times have i fired at say the midship when im not too far away without locking, and the torpedo takes what it THINKS the best course is and just misses entirely. that could be one reason you miss.
