I am trying to get things done as you suggested bubbalou but i'm having a problem. When is the right time to shoot the torpedo? After i set everything up, the enemy ship is closing in and you say "wait until he crosses XYZ degrees that you've set up". What does this mean exactly?

I know that a triangle has to be formed and XYZ are the angles of this triangle but in my case, there is no triangle. There is one line from the sub towards the intersect point and another one from the ship towards the intersect point (both straight lines). So, a side is missing for the triangle of doom as you called it. I feel that i'm missing something.
