Or, after setting the target's AOB (45 degrees left/right +/- lead), go to the attack map and take a look at the torpedo track line (green). If your sub is already oriented like you've planned (for a 45 degree attack), the green line will tell you if you're set up for a zero-degree shot.

If not, eyeball the change, adjust your AOB and crosshairs accordingly, and send a new bearing to the TDC. Otherwise, leave your crosshairs where they are and shoot as the "juicy parts" of your target sail into your crosshairs.

Edit: One way to make manual range changes to the TDC (based on a thread I can't find anymore).

1.5 \Data\Menu\cfg\Dials.cfg: made changes so that manual input on the range meter could be increased to max range.

[Dial58]
Enabled: “RelativeDrag=Yes” to steady the index marker (to keep from “chasing the dial.”)

[Dial59]
Enabled: “Cmd=Set_tgt_sel_value;”
Enabled: “CmdOnDrag=Yes”
Enabled: “RelativeDrag=Yes” to keep wheel from spinning when attempting to dial a range.
