Growl. My Weapon Officer has a mind on his own

I've got to be missing something here. Last patrol I came under attack from a task force of five destroyers. After some fighting, most of them broke off and headed back to their station, and two stayed behind to hunt. They ran out of depth charges for their main racks and had to resort to harrass me with their K-guns, doing no damage at all (you'd think they'd compensate and aim their K-Guns at where you were, but oh no, they still drop one charge on each side of you).

Either way, eventually they lost contact (gotta love them Bolds

) and I go to periscope depth some distance away. I turn the sub around and aim my periscope to 350°, right between the two hunters, and fire all four torpedoes in a spread. They all head off to port as if my gyro-angle was 300° or something, and of course the escorts hear the launch and come straight at me.

Why can't the damned eels just go in the direction I tell them to go? What the Heck am I missing?!
