If you miss, are you missing astern? Be sure to open all outer doors (Q key) well in advance of firing, as having them closed causes a couple of seconds delay before the torp can leave the tube.
With auto-targeting, both of the methods should actually work. Lock the target, then unlocking and moving to the bow and walking down the ship should work. However, if you unlock it for too long I "think" the solution fades. (it MIGHT only fade if you move the crosshairs completely off the target) I'm not sure as I go manual targeting. The offset dial would be my recomended method.
You can test both in the training mission with the mogami cruiser. Just go to the attack map to see if the green line (torpedo track) looks like it is where is should be when you want to fire.
edit: Oops, I see you are aware of the outer doors.
