I have become a big fan of the position keeper since I installed the Optical targeting correction mod (OTC). It has a 1-degree bearing periscope/TBT, this way you can compare generated bearing with observed ones very well. Even if your solution still lags 1 degree every 2 minutes for example and you aim for a torpedo run of 2 minutes, simply set a 1 degree forward angle in the torpedo settings.

For spreads I use Hitman's ingame torpedo spread angle calculator.

There still is the bug with the AoB updating/not updating when a new range is sent, but I have built a wiz-wheel to know exactly which AoB to enter for any observed bearing and assumed enemy course. My best shot so far was a MOT (from a spread of two, the MOT actually went underneath because of faulty depth setting, one missed) on a transiting DD going 12kts with a MK14 torpedo run of 6:30 minutes (slow speed setting).
