If you just want to shot ships and not deal with the AI use the easiest settings. Getting at ships isn't that hard if you act and think like a skipper and know what factors are involved. Even with TMO, the escorts can't find you unless you let them.
The main target is what you want, so use those lines as your set up. DD's basically do S movements as they patrol the screen, so it's not easy dodging their sonar cone. A lot of useful info in the sticky..Skipper bag of tricks...one thread Ducimas explains how AI works with TMO.
You mainly want to keep a narrow profile, run silent, keep your RPMs below 100, about 2 knts at most, but I perfer 1kt. The most important factor is wind, wind disrupts the water, the worse the water conditions, the better it is for you. You can get by with murder when winds are 15 knts. Try shooting at longer ranges until you figure out what you can get by with.
The only bad thing about auto targeting is you often have to set up based on where you think the ship will be when your torp gets there. This usually applies only after your spotted. Auto targeting limits many needed set ups as it only sets up the way things are that moment.
Take time and learn it, it's not an arcade game. You have to be willing to learn all the things skippers had to learn.
