Or use weapons officer on automatic; but principle is same, try to intersect target at a ninety degree angle that is is angle on the bow should be ninety degrees at firing point.

Academy will help practice

Try to hold fire until less than 1500m early in the war until better torpedo. Firing under 400m generally eel will not arm in time.

No apology needed by the way for your english is good, in fact, better than a lot.

The principles of Wazoo are basically same as you have posted - it may just require a bit of practice. I generally use the very same, speeding ahead of estimate arrival of target based on its speed, not counting weather.

Keep in mind as war progress target will change course more often and you may have to search for them.

You're not doing anything wrong, the method is incorrect when it measures your ship's speed. The corrected version of that particular method is located in this link:
