Still, I'm better off than before, if only by a smidgeon.

Uh .. don't use MH60 autocrew to setup torpedo. Do it manualy. Autocrew here does really stupid decisions. On subs it's quite usable, but not on MH60.
So first you have to disable autocrew on that station. Click on icon in upper left corner. Now you can set all torpedo parameters.
You can choose active or passive homing. Select active for subs, pasive for surfaces (most usually, you can surprise sub with passive sometimes, humans mostly).
Then choose search patern. Choose snake for shooting from large distance. Choose circle for dropping the torpedo right on sub (especially if you use LWAMI mod).
Then set depths .. cieling, bottom, search depth .. should be quite clear what it means. Search depth should be like 200ft max, or half of the bottom depth. Don't worry, seeker's detection cone is quite wide. Also consider maximum target depth and maximum torpedo depth. No use of setting bottom more than that. For subs also set at least 20ft of cieling, or even more, so you don't hit friendly or neutral surface contacts. Subs will rarely evade to shallow water (althought it usually works).
Then either assign target, or, if no target is assigned, you can set runout bearing manualy.
Then choose Run To Enable distance. Check target distance, subtract 1000yds (or more if you are unsure with position). Or, if you drop torpedo right on sub, like you should with HELO, set 0. 0 will always work.
Then click fire.
That's it .. it just can't miss.
Also note, that if you don't have autocrew enabled on this station, you can still use 'engage with' command on nav map. But since nobody presets the torpedoes, they will miss in 99%.
