While I understand all these ideas and how to use the TDC, what I have found challenging is being able to implement any of these methods and still have time for a shot. I can't imagine having a ship close enough to id, then having a full three minutes to calculate the speed (or having enough time to verify the accuracy of the PK settings), then finalizing the firing solution and getting off a few torpedos while the ship is still in optimal range.
It might be possible if you position yourself perfectly long before the convoy gets there, but I find that when I detect convoys visually, the DDs see me before I get close enough to be able get any kind of heading info on the convoy itself. If I'm submerged they don't see me but I don't have a chance at moving fast enough to get into position.
