Has anyone developed a quick shot procedure on a closing destroyer in manual targeting mode?

Before I switched to TM, I was using automatic targeting and it was pretty easy to waste a closing destroyer. I either kept him at 0 or 180 degrees, let him come in, locked him and shoot at about 600 yards. If the first missed I still had time for a second quick shot, then crash dive. Now, in TM I have not been successful in setting AOB at 0 or 180, keep the boat on course and shoot. Now when I see a destroyer I run. I realize it is not worth a lot to sink em but it would be nice to know I can. Sometimes you just gotta nail them, if only to feel like a man.
