To be honest, the only time I've had a problem is when I DON'T preset my torps.
The trick I've found, and it works in GWX or vanilla, is to actually give myself away to the enemy. That way, if the seas are calm enough, and they are within a 270 degree arc of bow, I can nail them with impunity. That is because, for whatever reason, any vessel with ASW will charge towards my position, and ALWAYS in a straight line.
Then I just adjust depth, switch to magnetic piston, and fire.
It's shocking how simple it can be at times.

This is exactly why I don't raid harbours...
