you dont really "use" the gyro angle per-se. its mainly just an indication of how much the torpedo will turn.

the closer to 0 the gyro is when you fire.. the less the torpedo has to turn and the more accurate it will be.

but... you also want to keep an eye on impact angle. that is the pointer on the dial above that one. you want it to be close to 90 so the torpedo doesn't glance off the target.

it's a juggling act. waiting for the gyro to get to 0 might make your impact angle too great.
