This is WW2 so close range is your friend. This is why they invented FAT torps to increase a chance of hitting far targets. What I wrote works for me up to 1000-1500m for lonely ships and I had great successes with convoys up to 3-3,5kms. Also very useful against circling DDs where you have fractions of seconds to send a deadly eel. Of course best is <1000m for precise targeting. In general a chance of successful hitting a ship with single eel at 4kms even with the best data gathered (TDC) is rather a matter of luck. It's very very easy to produce minimal errors which cause an eel to pass 2 meters from the ship...
