If you can close to within 1000 yards...just fire with no calculations at all. Set the torps to run as shallow as they can, and fire all your forward tubes in a guesstimated spread based on how fast you think the target is going. Make sure and clear any data from the TDC first.

The closer you can get, the better, of course, just make sure the torpedoes have enough distance to arm. 1000 yards is sort of a 'no farther than...' number for eyeball targetting. I personally prefer about 500-600.
