I been getting 100% hits, I tried a greater distance of around 1000 1100 mtrs, the percentage is greatly reduced either a total miss or bow or stern hit.
I havent used any of the torp tracking on the map and no maths. just used the dials from the periscope. I have used the free camera to check the torp run lol.
It isn't distance being your problem. It is likely that you aren't using your scope to best effect since there are tables telling you for a given target speed and torp speed how much you need to lead them to get a decent hit. You should easily be getting hits well past 1000 meters. It might help if you post a video on youtube or screenshots.
