If you are managing to get in that position prior to firing, you are not playing as bad as you think!
I would say that 600 meters is to close, but with correct distance and speed data, you can get very good results firing from 1500, 2000 metres, if you manage to get broadside to a ship and fire when the target is still some 500 metres away from reaching an interception point between yours and the target's course. Geting yourself into that position is 75% of the art.
Firing from odd angles or odd positions can mean two things: a) you could have gotten yourself into a better position, and didnt (so, shame on you). b) the opportunity to fire just presented itself, its a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you will not be able to pursue and find a better firing position in the near future.
Situation "b", in 95% of times, will regard a fast-moving taskforce. They are not your preferable target anyway.
