Even with automatic targeting and Mk 16 torpedoes, up-the-kilt shots are low enough probability that I take them only when necessary: almost never with merchants over 2km and only under 1.2 km for retreating warships of CA size or less. BBs and CVs are such high value targets that I'll almost always take the shot under 3km, especially the Yamatos.
If firing while moving at high speed, it's prudent to allow a few extra seconds for the TDC solution to stabilize.
