Relative firing bearing of 165 would be correct.

No, the AoB is always measured as if you were standing on the target's bow and you had to look either to port or starboard to see your own sub. An AoB of 180 would mean that you were dead astern of the target, as they had to look 180 degrees (port or starboard!) to see you. With Dick O' Kane you want to be on about a 90 degree track, which would mean an AoB of 90 minus your lead angle.

The TDC is a bit buggy and you have to send data to it twice in order to get it to update the TTa properly (if you are not using the Position Keeper). Did you send each piece of information to the TDC twice? This will be needed to update the lead angles for the torpedoes. Otherwise you might not be getting in close enough? What's your range when you open fire?
