Nice post RR. As it transpires this kind of attack is how I have been approaching the game with Monsun/RSRD due to the large size of the convoys. By coming in at a 45 degree attack angle I can work a position to fire my bow and stern tubes in one flurry, using the targets forward speed as an "assist" to the torpedo travel time. That way I can hit 2 targets in one attack run and if I continue on my path I can work another shooting oppertunity from the convoy moving across my path.
While it would be much harder to do with full manual aim (ie work 2 sets of TDC calcs) the 45 degree attack angle method is a staple in my play book.
