I only try shots on circling destroyers in desperation. Either I'm damaged and can't dive, I'm caught in shallow water, or it is impossible to break contact. I use manual lead and shoot about 1-2 lengths in front of them. I'd say I have a 40% hit rate.
What I prefer is to get them to chase me. If they don't zig-zag it's a cake-walk. Set your fish for magnetic impact and shoot at 500 meters and it's done and done.
If they are coming in zig-zagging, you have to wait until 400-300m before they stop and come straight in and it's touch and go whether you can nail them and still have the fish arm in time.
