I always end up chasing

Hi, I've made a simple practice mission for myself to learn the basics. I have a medium Merchant type ship about 2km straight north of my sub going east at 7 knots. Now with 100% realism I am nearly always able to make the first shot (yeah I'm petting myself on the back) but after that it's a mess. The ship never sinks and any further shots I fire (using manual TDC) always miss. The speed the XO estimates seems to be correct and mostly the torpedoes seem to be travelling in the right direction (even with map contacts on they miss). Also they are going to fast for me. If I chase them under water I never catch up, if I chase them above water they start firing their deck gun and the sub can't take a lot of that. What am I doing wrong? I use stock SH5 with torpedo speed ability fix mod and that recoginition manual with the green stripes to know where to align the stadimeter.
