One more thing PK and maybe TDC are scr...d up totally... gyro-angle of bow torpedo tubes is 64 degrees while target is at 65 degrees bearing and at 10 knots speed at distance of 900 meters , it should be at least 45 or even more... it seems that engine treats torpedoes like super-sonic missiles?

Maybe not, it depends on what the AOB was at that time. "Gyro angle" is not the same as "Angle on the Bow". Gyro angle is the amount the torpedo needs to turn away from your own bow, to reach the final intercepting point. Angle on the Bow is the angle how much the target is facing away from directly looking towards you.

compare your TDC readings with what the Attack Map shows. At 900 yds and 10kts, there should be a large lead.

The TDC works fine.

I know you won't believe me, but after I De-installed OTC, everything went back to normal... it seems that my comp/system doesn't like it at all... with it my torpedoes were always hitting at stern... now I'm back in the saddle...solutions are PERFECT right in the middle ALWAYS... I even managed to hit a ship in fog and rain (I think it was Zinbu Maru, small freighter 1800-ish tons) ... T attack about 800 meters distance, after three bearing method and a few pings for determining her speed... she was moving at 13 knots... fast little bugger...

Ahhh, sounds like a mod soup issue. Glad you sorted it out.
