You're too close, your eels need at least 350-400m distance to arm, so even when firing at 500m you might be too close since your target will be moving towards you as well.

Try for a shot at 500-600m or so from the side, a 90 degree angle. Plot their course, and setup a shot where you'll be waiting as they pass in front of you. Move your periscope so that the gyroangle reads 000, then fire as they pass that point. The AOB of 90 degrees and the gyroangle of 350 to 10 is the most important parts.
