Torp shooting with angle always miss

At very close range and high gyro angle as in the screenshot, your range needs to be more or less exact. If speed and AOB are correct, range is the culprit in this situation. The TDC will always correct for parallax correctly if range is accurate. Also, that looks awfully close - are you sure you are at least 300 m away?

judging by the course line he has on the ship if you enlarge the picture, it defiantly does looks like he is only about 100 meters from the ship add in the torps path of the range looks only to be 150 meters. if that's the case no matter what you input into that tdc you will not hit it and if he does hit it, the torp will not be armed regardless.

I have also noticed in the picture, you have sunk another ship in that spot, by chance was this 2nd ship adjoined to the 1st ship, as in the same convoy? because if they were the 2nd ship would be alerted and start to take torpedo anti measures and would have slowed down or sped up making your solution also incorrect

id be hesitant to even attempt that shot at 500 meters and at that angle, I would personally still salvo 2 torps with 1 aimed for front-mid bow and 1 aimed for aft just behind the bridge of the ship.

at 1000 meters I would not be so hesitant

I agree 100%.

Pull ahead and do a 90 degree shot.
