I've taken out destroyers with AOB 0 deg, which I guess would class as a bow shot. The ship was searching for my fellow less experienced sub mate during an MP mission. I deliberatly got his attention by performing a depth check as he was dangerously close to the other sub.

I waited till about 500-600meters and fired a fast, Type I, at 5 meters depth with a magnetic trigger. The destroyer was doing about 15 knots and I was submerged (naturally) doing about 5 knots. The torp found it target and the destroyer sunk almost instantly.
