Manual solutions etc

Been playing both SH3 and SH4 for some time, and recently decided that i should try and learn the manual thing, because the point and shoot did start to seem to simple.
So i learned the hard way, but the satisfaction in sinking 2 tankers that were travelling alone with torpedoes only! (Second one tried to escape, went straight for me, and passed 10 meters on my side, so he reicived a stern torp in his rear). Was great!.

Anyway, the question that follows. Which methods are best to apply when you want to aim for certain parts?. Afaik the position keeper is the point that the torpedoes will run for, unless you set a spread. Locking the periscope and doing a theoretical 100% correct calculation would set that right in the middle of the ship. Ofcourse you could guess a spread then to hit the engine or any other good spot. I took some time to browse the manual in the matter, And it said:

"LOCK TARGET
Left-click on the Lock button in Periscope view to follow the selected target. You will
have the freedom to move the periscope to the left or right in order to centre the
periscope over any ship compartment."

Which i somehow fail to do!. I would personally prefer to try and aim for the engine room straight away, and not having to guess the spread which mostly ends with a worse hit.

So, any tips/knowledge would be much appreciated!
