What does the TDC set?

After watching the excellent tutorials by Stoainm, I managed to track myself a target. Woooo!

Small question though. If we put in the speed of target, bearing, AoB etc...what exactly it left for the TDC to program into the torpedo?
Is it just the angle at which it will fly towards the target?

Also, why would you ever fire a slow torpedo instead of a fast one? Is that in case the target is too close for the torpedo to 'turn' in time?

Sorry for the naive questions! I've been reading up a bit on wiki about TDC's, but the specific answer I couldn't find.

Thanks again!
