Torpedo targetting problems!!

I am trying to sink the ships in the training mod. Problem I'm having is that I keep missing the ships stern by a few feet.
Whenever I line up the shot at the sitting duck cargo ship (That's what I call it cause it just sits there in front of you.), It does takes off all of a sudden to get a away from my torp. Now while I do have a problem with several tons of cargo ship being able to just jump off the starting line like a quarter mile dragster I'll forgo that little annoyance for now.
My problem is that when I target the ship when it's moving I always show the same speed even if I start the timer on the ship and stop it way out in front to compensate for the fact that I keep missing the stern of the ship by a few feet. If I put the crosshairs on the midships when I start the clock and then stop it way out in front of the ship shouldn't the speed be different than if I start and stop the timer on the ships midsection? Well it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?
If I could manually input speed I could compensate better and get a more accurate gyro angle. I think the speed is not accurate.
