They gyro angle being how much your torpido has to turn to get onto its running course. The more the torpido has to turn the more likely it is to miss the target, a 000 gyro angle being a strait run from the uboat to the target. It is unlikly that this is the only cause of your missing, especialy if your are consistantly missing aft but it could be the cause if you are doing the same thing every time.

I tend to go for the 90 degree AOB and gyro close to zero approach most of the time, if the situation permits. It's the easiest position to score a hit, I think. I tend to wait until the target indicator turns green, indicating an gyro angle between -10 and +10 if I'm not mistaken. It's also easiest to ID the target.
