Now that you mention it, I've been wondering this for a long time; how do you manually aim a torpedo at a certain part of a target?
The way I try to do it (but this only works when you're close, like ca. 1200m) is to put in range, aob and speed and then in the TDC just tick that certain torpedo-course-meter (I don't know it's name right now) more to the right or left.
Is this the usual way to go at it? Because if you calculate everything precisely, your torpedo will hit right in the middle of the target, while sometimes (or actually most of the time) you don't want that. I like my torpedo to either hit towards the stern (so the target will take in more water) or the aft (so it'll be slowed down or dead in the water).
