Try this: Turn off the PK. Sight the periscope at zero and press the send range/bearing button. Set speed to zero. Set AoB to zero. Select tube 1. Check out your attack screen. What bearing is the torpedo path pointed towards? Should be zero.

Now set AoB to 90 starboard. Set speed to 10 knots. What bearing is the torpedo track now?

The answers will determine whether your TDC is operating properly. If it is, then you have a procedural problem and we go to the next step.
