The best thing you can do with regard to war ships is not get found out by them. Failing that going as deep as you can never hurts. Switching over to silent runing is also a good idea. The simple fact is that distroyers, the most common war ship you are likely to encounter, are biult with two things in mind killing you and killing aircraft; they are very good at what they do. Battleships, aircraft cariers and heavy crusers on the other hand are sitting ducks, having no weapons to counter a sub on them and therefor reliant on the smaller ships. Generaly speeking the renown for sinking distroyers and other anti-sub warfair ships isn't worth the expence of a torpido, save them for the bigger ships if at all possible.

As for your trubles in geting a 90deg torpido strike, ya it is hard. One thing you have to do in order to get this done is plan ahead. The best general plan is to get out ahead of your target and on a perpendicular course. Get accurate speed and AOB readings, if you are using manual targeting, and fire your torpido when your gyroangle is close to 000. This will result in your torpido streeking out from your tube and going in a strait line and if you have all the data correct the ship will reach the point directly infront of you at the same time the torpido reaches out to the distance to target and if all is right with the torpido a fantasitic explosion will be yoru reward.
