This can be seen before you ever play the game. In the Torpedo Tutorial the nearest ship is sitting still. If you aim for the auto lock-on point (i.e. amidships) he will accelerate like a PT boat and avoid the eel. If you aim two meters ahead of his bow he'll sit there and watch it go by. You have to aim for the very bow or use two eels to make it work.
It's one of the bugs people have been trying to solve for six years. Thomsen's Ships mod goes a way toward fixing it, but it has never been truly solved.
