I haven’t been able to test a near-90 gyro angle 300-400 m shot, but I don’t think it will be possible anymore, just don’t see how it would. Torpedo can’t turn in time for that now and will be playing “catchup” at a highly-unfavorable impact angle.
The fact that German fish turned after 10m was a HUGE tactical advantage of the technology, and was in keeping with the German doctrine and practice of using the flexibility the TDC provided to shoot minimum range shots at large gyro angles (assuming targeting data was solid).
I would like to understand the reason for the change.
