How are you setting up a zero gyro shot?
Hint though. Check the torpedo gyro angle and look at the sonar man's 06:26 report. I believe it links directly to a former post I made to you about the exact same problem. Keep in mind that when loading a save, TDC input is not saved with the game. You must input all TDC parameters again after you restore the save.

Enemy course, doesn't matter. Believe me when I'm saying that I position myself at 90° port from the enemy course. In such conditions, range becomes irrelevant during zero gyro shot.
About the data on the TDC, first I entered speed, which on that particular example was 10 knots, then the AOB (90 port) which is the AOB the ship will have while corssing my scope at 0° bearing. and at the very end, and arbitrary range as it is not important for the torpedo solution. After that process, if you check the TDC dials, the torpedo gyro will not be zero, it will be 34#ish, that means I have to adjust my scope bearing to the right (and send a new bearing to the TDC) until I get a zero gyro angle. Let's say that happens at bearing 012. For my torpedoes to hit the ship, at 90°, I have to fire the torps when the ship crosses my crosshair at bearing 012. Of course, all of this is done with PK off. Never locked a target as it is not needed either.
In other words, basically the torps should follow the black line on the attack map, which is not happening and they are deviating. If I do the same process after leaving port, the torps will follow my zero angle shot, but so far it has happened to me three times that they don't do that. It looks like the TDC is just keeping the first gyro setting at bearing 000 (which would be 34#is), and it is not adjusting after sending again the "range" and new bearing at 012, although it is marked on the TDC dials
