Q key to open outer doors on torpedo tubes, make sure all tubes are open early in the attack. The game has a serious flaw right there, if the outer doors are not open when you fire, it will (1) automatically open the doors for you, (2) wait several seconds while the door opens, and (3) shoot the torpedo USING THE GYRO SETTINGS WHICH WERE VALID WHEN YOU HIT THE FIRE BUTTON.
That lag guarantees a miss astern simply because at the moment of firing the TDC is aiming at where the target was, not where it is now.
I can't stress this enough, it's the most common cause of misses by new players. Always hit the Q key and check the outer doors are open at least 5 seconds before firing, or your TDC data will use an outdated firing solution.
