Can you only use the formula 180-bearing to calculate teh AOB only when your travelling perpendicular to your target?

or can you use it anytime to calculate the AOB??

because I used that formula just now to fire at a small merchant heading towards me at about 900mtrs, the torpedos missed the target, and just missed his rear end, even though i fired slightly "ahead" of him if you get me?
