well let's make it right. I might as well do it correctly. But, truthfully, I have no idea what is right and wrong right now. I'm all confused Maybe Hitman can clarify for me and tell me what to do.

Hopefully Hitman understands the whole TDC. I don't understand all elements, too. I am from Germany, but even a translation wouldn't help you, I think.

Now I'm not even sure about the bearing dial. The dial labeled with "bearing" in Hitman's link is the gyro indicator as I see it now. Because it has the smaller Vernier to it. Meaning this dial was not to set your target's bearing, but show your fire solution (the angle at which your torpedo was fired). You need to differentiate which bearing is meant -target or your torpedo.

So I would return to my first statement, that just angle of bearing and bearing dial were flipped:
The green/red dial background with "Bug links/rechts" is for angle of bow.
The green/red dial without text is for bearing.
The black ones on the right (gyro) indicate the bearing of your torpedo when fired and are correct.
