Oops! I guess I should have asked about mods, first. Since you are using 3:15, I can assume manual targeting, correct? 11 knots is an odd speed to see merchants run at. Was he maneuvering, to the best of your observations? You have the torp speed fix, so that can't be the problem. The only other thing i can think of would be a timing error with or without an AOB miscalculation.
I'm doing an 90 degree attack (90 degree AOB), so range shouldn't matter and AOB error should be slight. I was shooting from about 1500m.

Only thing I can figure is I did not record time correctly with the stopwatch. I can't make out any minute marks on it so it is difficult to figure our when 3 minutes expires. I did it just by keeping track in my head how many times the second hand passed 12 o'clock. Maybe I lost track.
