Absolutely! You're first picking where the torpedoes go, then pointing the periscope there so you can pull the trigger as the juicy parts of the ship pass by. I said "sight right on the target" because the torpedo will hit the ship at the spot the crosshairs are on when you shoot the torpedo. Another similar technique has you setting the speed for zero and sighting the periscope a certain number of degrees behind the torpedo track, depending on target speed. I've eliminated that because it opened too many doors for operator error. (that means I read the chart wrong and aimed for a slow torpedo when I was using a fast one. Missed it clean!)
