I have little esxperience (still on the course of my first patrol) but 'till now I'm doing well with "The Straight Shot" and "The Perfect Shot" methods described in the document section shipped with a GUI Mod [hsGUI]
Both methods make use of your torpedo speed and target speed/course to give you a reference bearing to aim to -- no need to calculate target range at all! --
Both methods rely on precompiled tables you use to index 'target speed' on one axis and 'LB angle' (explained in the document, and to calculate it you need to know target course) on the other axis to find the 'shoting bearing'.
Each specific table is build for a specific torped speed settting: I'm using [MaGui F], a Gui Mod, that provides me with three in-game precompiled tables: 30/40/44 knot (plus other useful tools, but these tables are what I was looking for).
If you do not want to use the [MaGui F] mod you can still use the above described methods: just download the [hsGUI] mod for the explanations, then write down the tables on paper (I can provide you with a txt version of the tables if you are intrested, I do not remeber if they come with the documents in [hsGUI] mod folders).
