I'm totally hopeless when it comes to torpedo attacks...

I just gave you videos on how to do it, it doesn't get easier then that following those videos. We can't do it for you so your going to have to watch those videos and maybe write down what they say in steps.

MagUI ROBAF Training
Legend
Top outer ring = Length and Mast Height
Top Inner Ring = Range
Bottom Inner Ring = Speed
Bottom outer ring = AOB

Pause the game if you can when doing these steps to save on critical aiming time

Measuring Speed
Step 1: When ship's bow hits desired mark (ex. at 30 degree mark on your periscope) then start stop watch or chronometer until mark is lined up with the ship's stern then stop timer and record the time. Take top inner ring and line up the time value with ship's length in top outer ring, then whatever red line is over bottom inner ring at that time is the target's speed, input into TDC.

Measuring AOB
Step 2: Move bottom inner ring and line up mast height value with ship length outer ring, then measure horizontal marks and find that value on the bottom inner ring and read what the bottom outer ring is at that point, that's your AOB that you input into TDC.

Measuring Range
Step 3: Measure vertical marks from waterline of ship to highest mast at 6x magnification then find that value on bottom inner ring move it so it lines up with the 90 value on the outer bottom ring.
Step 4: Look at mast height in rec manual and find value on top outer ring then look at top inner ring at same point, that will be your range that you input in your TDC.

P.S. if your not willing to put the time in to learn from these tutorials and vids then you might as well have weapon officer on and ask him for the torpedo data and ship identification so its more suited to your play style. Captains didn't take the calculations anyways it was the 1st officer that took the visual readings and weapon officer that inputted the info into TDC, captain just gave overall orders it was the specialists that got into the specifics.
