A work around would be to send individual bearings on different parts of the target, but that seems impossible since the stadimeter is very hard to operate on a moving target without locking the scope.

Unclick the position keeper.
Lock on the target and take your range with the stadimeter.
Unlock the target and move the scope to where you want to fire.
Resend the range to the TDC, this will send your new bearing.
Fire when desired part of target passes the centerline.
Depending on how much you move the scope your range will be slightly off using this method but it will fire in the way you describe. Personally I never fire this way because I prefer to use divergent spreads (first show towards the stern, second the center and last shot at the bow), using the spread angle dial. This spread makes it harder to evade all the torpedoes, and if you're using manual targetting the chance of creating such a perfect solution that you actually hit the "aim point" is minimal anyway.
