I'm quite sure it's possible to generalize this to non-90degree angles since such a table actually exists in the MaGui mod is SH3 (called "Shooting bearing Tables" in the screenshots description of the mod in this forum [/showthread.php?t=166320]).
Now my question would be: is there a mathematical formula that can be used ? Or maybe a mod, for sh4 US subs ?
Sorry for my question is a bit theoretical, but I figured that someone here might have the answer.

hello Askir,
here is the formula you are seeking for:
ShootingAngle = arctan { sinlb / [(u2/u1)+coslb] }
where:
lb = angle between Uboat's and target's courses (from uboat to intersect point to target's course heading)
u2 = torpedo's speed
u1 = target's speed
