I get the solution from the weapon officer and fire. If I miss it is almost always just a few feet behind the keel. I haven't messed with any of the weapons setttings yet.

That Commander mod sounds great. I'll have to give it a try.

A-ha! Are you opening your torpedo tube doors before firing? Pressing the "Q" key will open the door to the selected tube. Not opening them before firing will delay your shot by a couple of seconds, throwing off your solution and causing you to.....*drum roll please* miss a few feet behind!

If opening the door to one tube at a time isn't good enough for you, (suppose you want to fire a salvo) you can open multiple tubes at once by going to the conning tower and flipping the switches there in the 3-D view.
