Very true, which is why i said.. "The first shot in a salvo, you usually will start with a 0 degree offset if your sure of your targets speed."

If your unsure of his speed, then you'll have to spread your torpedo deflection out much wider in case hes going slower then you think he is. (-1 degree instead of 0 which is MOT). Or a degree or two more in his direction of travel if you think he might be going faster then what your speed estimates are saying.

Personally, i just make sure i get my speed estimates right. But yes, i do miss on occasion, it happends.
