It could be any number of things...

1. Are you getting "torpedo missed" or "dud torpedoes'?

Without a recording... any number of things could be happening. If you are a beginner turn the realism way down so you can watch the torpedoes and that should help you figure out the problem.

It could be that you are being spotted and the ship is using evasive maneuvers. If the ship is changing speed and turning not following a straight path it doesn't matter if you have a "green pointer" you're still likely to miss at any distance or speed. If that is the case close for a shot at 600m or less. I use the german Uboats so I set the torpedo to fast so they have even less time to evade.

You could be firing at too far a range, too steep an angle, etc., etc., etc...

I pilot german submarines... but I typically set the depth one meter below the bottom of the ship unless it is a TIII Tanker, which I set the depth at 11.5. I also set the torpedo to magnetic detonation. IMO, there are a lot of advantages to the this method.
