Hi all, nice to meet you, I hope you are well!

I'm having a little difficulty with TDC and I was hoping some more experienced sub captains might be able to share a nugget or two of wisdom.

For the most part I understand how the system works, I can calculate range, AOB etc. and my torpedos definitely take the right course, however I do get misses due to, I assume, torpedo speed.

Does TDC not take into account the speed you set the torpedo at when calculating the firing solution?
If it doesn't, is there a rule of thumb to use? Such as <1000m = slow, 1k-2k = medium and >2k = fast?
Or better yet is there a mathematical formula for calculating it based on target speed and distance?

Any help would be hugely appreciated
