'BEARING' help needed please

hi hunters

after many years in the 'manual tdc wilderness' i think i am finally getting it through in to my head...dont know how this is happening, but it seems to be!

yet i have a question about bearing; have been on the torp tutorial and had some good success. but sometimes when i set up the bearing on a moving ship - the torp arrives at the right point but the ship is further along?

have entered a.o.b, ship speed, range etc yet it doesnt seem to hit - its as though i have to guesstimate the arrival point on 'bearing' so for example, if the bearing reads 25 i have to guess it will 30 when the ship gets there. is this right or am i missing something?

many thanks
