ESM should give you more information than is currently available in game. Not only will it give you a pretty precise bearing, it should tell you what kind of radar it is (base on frequency and pulse rate and other info) which would allow you to narrow if not nail the exact platform, and once you have that info, you can estimate range based on the signal strength.
You can get the bearing and narrow or ID any platform using active sonar the same way. Range however will be much harder and it would depends a lot on the strength of the surface duct, the strength and depth of the layer, your depth and a bunch of other things.
