That means your gyro angle is ancient history, which results in a lot of misses.

True dat!
Early in my SH4 career I missed that "detail" and couldn't figure out why the torpedoes were passing aft of the target, with an occasional hit near the stern... Somewhere in SubSim I read a post and the light came on... Now hitting the "Q" key is part of my setup routine... When it doesn't get done, I am rewarded with one or more lost torpedoes...
