Default Targeting ships that are changing direction

I was wondering what other sub captains do when they are trying to target and calculate firing solutions on ships that are changing directions?

Personally, it frustrates me because all the AoB calculations and speeds etc... go out the window and I am left offsetting torpedo spread angles to compensate for a bad solution. Best guessing where the ships course will take it when the torp arrives.

When the warships are doing their zig zag maneuvers I find that I need to be very close and firing torps just when they just beginning a new turn. But still sometimes I find that I'm missing shots that should be much easier.

Is there a way to time distance, direction and speed between turns to compute where the torp should really being aiming to land a good hit?
