I routinely take perpendicular shots when the target is only about 450-550m away. When the target is moving away from me, I might take a shot at 250m with torpedo speed set at slow.
Ok so you fire your torpedos 150 to 50 metres closer than I do. And the reason is....? Apart from the fact that the distance will not make a smidgen of difference...oh ok maybe yours will detonate a second earlier...if that, wouldn't it be harder to judge (especially for a newcomer) such a short distance away?...and it doesn't give you much room to maneuver if you get the distance wrong or the ship is not exactly 90 degrees and coming towards you (which would bring the target under the arming range).

"So the only time you need to be 600m away when firing is when the target is coming directly at you at speed."

If a target is coming directly towards you at speed and is only 600 metres away...it's time to crash dive.

Of course you're just too good and this doesn't apply to you.

edit: Anyway, the point I'm making just because you get closer doesn't make him anymore deader.
