Well, I think that below periscope depth the angle for torpedoes is taken from
the current bearing. That means, that you may simply change your bearing to set
it. That's very useful when you are submerged and hunted by enemy destroyers:
Set the bearing to 90 degrees, perhaps, and wait until the destroyer seems to be
in a good position. Of course these damned bastards like to change their course
just a second before they are going to be hit :-). I've lost many,many torpedoes
trying to hit one lonely destroyer. A better way is to wait until the enemies
give up hunting you. Then go up to periscope depth and give them a shot into the
back.
