Targetting on the move requires a fair ammount of practice. Here are some tips:
1. On a zig-zagging ship position yourself directlly behind it at about 500 or less (no less than 350), and magnetic torps only. Anticipate his next maneuver and input the aob accordigly. (check his speed aswell). It should be around 150 deg off his starboard or port side (turn off tdc updates). once hes about to reach his maximum arc (close to 150 deg) TORPEDO LOS! You can try to run parallel to it but its way more complicated as youll have to maintain sepparation.
2. On straight running ships, everything works as long as you dont get too close and it starts zigging (which emans back to base 1 for you). easiest thing would be running parallel to it about 500-600 meters. Match speed and set the aob to 90 deg and youre all set.
As a sidenote: Even in youre matching the targets speed, it doesnt mean that the TDC speed should be 0 just because the relative speed between you and your target is also 0. TDC speed should be targets speed regardless.
