My torpedo aim is pants. What happened?

Coming back to SH3 NYGM 2.2 I find that my torpedo aim went down the toilet.

I approach a convoy. I target the nearest ship at the first column. I measure my distance correct. I know its speed to be 8 kts and I know its cours is 270. My own course is 345. I enter the speed manually on the TDC screen and make sure to turn off again so that gyro etc updates

I then use the protractor tool to draw one leg from my sub to the target position, then second leg along the targets course.

I enter this in to the tdc by clicking the checkmark. Do one more range find and checkmark. The door is open. I fire. The eel swims.

And it hits the first ship in the THIRD column of the convoy. Like WTF? That was pure luck, the torps might as well have missed all of it. It is 3000 m range ones and I launch at about 2000 meter. What am I doing wrong since my torps fly without taking into consideration the target speed? I am positive I entered 8 kts on the TDC dial.

I don't get it
