You need to post this in the Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific forum.
But I will offer a suggestion. Pick up some screen recording software and record your attacks as video so you can review your attack after the fact. It then becomes very easy to determine where your attack went wrong.
Also, always use the attack map. Using the Dick O'Kane method we're not going to get an exact zero gyro shot where the torpedo goes right up the zero bearing. You can be off by 5º, but your shot will be essentially straight ahead.
If you see the torpedo taking a 90º turn, then you have made a grievous error. Normally the easiest way to accomplish this is to enter the AoB as starboard when it is really port or versa visa. Remember the answer to "is the AoB starboard or port" is the same as "which side of the target am I looking at?" Also a target traveling from port to starboard has a starboard AoB. A target traveling from starboard to port has a port AoB. Use whichever is easiest to remember.
But the key to spotting exactly where you erred is video.
