There may be a better way to do it, but you can in realistic mode if you take a distance reading in the direction that you think the torpedo should go, leaving the speed of the target at zero (in which case the direction of the target is obviously irrelevant). Also, note that the computer calculates for a initial straight run, so the direction of the torpedo will be very different from the direction you point the scope if :
a) it is close and/or
b) it is not directly ahead or behind

For that reason, I max out the range when I am taking such a pot shot, and try to wait until the boat is pointed in the direction I want to fire.
