Hi!
You'd think that would be the case, but I don't know how tightly the game engine ties the on-screen image and apparent size of an object to the range and torpedo targeting; your best bet is probably to set up a mission with a stationary ship at a 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees AOB and see if the bow-to-stern angular measurements work out as the trigonometry suggests it should.
