Anyway, my torpedos keep skimming behind enemy ships and just miss when i fire them, i'm assuming this must be due to my AOB calculations but....i'm inputting the same value that the protractor gives me on the nav map, which can't be wrong!!!
Make sure your torpedo doors are open. You loose a second or two on the solution if the doors are closed. Guaranteed miss everytime.

Get your initial estimates and turn the PK on. You will take several more observations as you get into firing range. By then you should have AOB/speed/range very accurate. Open your torp doors! Fire when at 1500 yards for less.
