range doesn't matter as long as the gyro is 0. the further away from 0 the more it matters due to the torpedo's initial run before turning.

Actually YES it matters even at zero G-Angle
There will still be a difference -although minimal- in parallax due to the distance from the torpedo initial position (In its tube) to the optics. And, if you are not using an automated calculator (Like the TDC) but instead shooting based on a manually calculated lead-angle (A la WW1) you would also need to take into account the time that the torpedo takes to accelerate to its cruise speed, because you will have had the firing triangel set up with that speed, and the overall average of the run will in fact be slightly slower.
