You've gotten some excellent advice above.
I would clarify, that if you are using "autoaiming", you don't need the WO. Anytime you have the periscope/UZO crosshairs over a ship and lock onto it (by pressing the L key), the information on your notepad in the upper right will start to automatically update with a firing solution. As long as you have opened the torpedo door ( by pressing the Q key), when you press Fire, the game will attempt to send the torpedo to whatever point on the ship is currently smack in the middle of the crosshairs.
If your are stilll "locked on", this will always be the center of the ship. If you want to aim at some other part of the ship, you need to unlock the periscope/UZO (hit the "L" key again ) and rotate the scope till the part of the ship you want to hit is in the crosshair. Then hit fire. You don't want to "lead" the ship. If you do move the crosshairs off the ship to somewhere in front of it, to try and "lead" it, you will notice that the notepad goes blank and you lose your firing solution.
