Windage? One or both ships moving?

If both the U-Boat and the target were absolutley still then you could expect the shot to land where the sight was pointing when the piece was fired.

Otherwise...

In the real world it is called leading your target when you compensate for movement by aiming to the right or left trying to anticipate where your target will actually be when the shell arrives.
