I realize it's a much harder shot to make, because of the gyro angle. But I am wondering if he is even thinking about it?

Haven't used the weapons officer in so long, there is probably much I have forgotten.
If I remember right, when firing a torpedo at a target on an opposite course to your own (90 degree shot - best to use the stern tube(s)) the TDC could not keep up with the rapidly changing situation. I got better results after going full manual, and presetting my scope at the firing point, then waiting for the target to enter my crosshairs.
(As I play "No Parking", this is the only method available to my boats when attacking from inside the convoy, and not getting run over. Although it's an easier shot to roll with the convoy, using bow tubes, I find it harder to keep from getting run over, and keep track of the enemy course.)
