I haven't seen a way to enter the bearing (obviously I can see their bearing easily through the periscope when I am locked on).

Entering the bearing is done at the same time you enter the range. Clicking to send range also sends the current periscope bearing. Why the torpedo is heading straight ahead is odd.
For speed, you can take two bearing/range readings with a bit of time between them. Then go to the speed entry tool, click the stopwatch, and the crew will figure the course and speed of the target for you. You can use their response to enter speed and AoB. (It's also a good sanity check. If you use the tool to calculate the speed of a cargo ship, and you find out he's doing 30 knots, you got something wrong.)
If you haven't read them yet, I'd suggest going through the
Sub Skipper's Bag of Tricks and
Technical Help & Questions, Guides and Trainings threads. I'd also recommend starting out manual targeting with one of
these methods. It's what got me started, and they're pretty easy to pick up. Once you get those working, you can move on to other methods.
