Just before launching the torp with AOB and speed set, you should go to the stadimeter and send another time the infos to the TDC or the bearing information in the TDC will be false and you will fire behind the target!
On the video below, you can see that just after entering speed, I launch the first torpedo without re-updating the bearing in the TDC. And just after that I launch a second torpedo with bearing updated. The two torpedoes take very different route and the first one miss but not the second one!

Can you do me a favor and post the setting you are using in torp school? I always hit aft, in the same spot back by the airplanes.
I'm updating all my info in the instant before I fire:
AoB 70 starboard (as measured on the nav map)
Speed 9 knots
Distance 1010 yards (from the stadimeter)
I'm firing at approx bearing of 348 (giving me near zero gyro angle). Bow cap is open, torp set to fast.
The only way I can hit him dead center is to set the speed to 11 knots, which is faster than what I'm measuring.
Thanks!
