Now, I know, this question is going to sound rediculous. However, I was a longtime fan of Silent hunter 3, however, I always used the automatic targeting system. Now that I'm playing Silent hunter 4, I can't make heads or tails over whether my shot is a good one.

Here's what's happening to me consistently. I get to about 1000-800 meters away from my target. I lock on to him, and I wait. Seeing as I can't find any valuable output that tells me how good my shot is, as opposed to the Gyroangle reader that was in Silent Hunter 3, (remember that thing, that the closer it got to 000, the better the shot?) I find myself stuck waiting for the little arrow above my target to turn Green. Now, this is supposedly a "Great shot", however I'm finding that I can't tell at all how good it will be.

And guess what happens? I open my torp bay doors, fire off a few fish, and they almost always end up getting there too early or too late. I'm getting quite confused and agitated by this, could anyone help me figure out how to aim properly?
