I have just got to the torpedo stage of the tuturial (Naval Academy) and I am experiencing significant difficulty getting a decent result.
I was facing the large and immobile large cargo ship on the surface at a distance of less than 500 metres last night. I was locked onto the target and the little triangle was green. Every fish I fired veered off to the left or the right.
It was very hard to imagine how I could miss, but I did!
Very frustrating.

The triangle will show green when you are locked on AT ANY ANGLE
For a torpedo to impact you need to be as close to 90 degrees as possibe, around 3 to 5 mtrs depth I find is best depending on draught of ship - too low and they will bounce off the curve of the hull too
IIRC the torpedos do not arm until 400mtr away from the sub so make sure you are at least that far away
And I know you said this ship is stationary but dont forget to open the bow doors by pressing Q before you loose the fish, makes a big difference against moving targets
