I don't usually have just one torp hit. Usually most or all of my torps hit. Who cares about admitting mistakes if the torps hit home?
Oh, and I made a boo-boo in my last post. The offset is in the opposite direction of their travel. This (for me anyway) compensates for their slower speed caused by zigging. It's best to fire when the target is mid-zig, or close to it's original course.
