You are correct. You are still limited with finding an accurate range but if you can find speed and course with 4bearings or by visual contact you can then submerge and use only sonar to carry out the attack using a constant bearing technique.

Here are some links. They are for SH4 but the principles are the same and work for SH5. Just make sure you don't have the periscope linked to the TDC or it will throw off your TDC data inputs.

Dick O'Kane Targeting video download

Dick O'Kane Sonar only video download (the difference here is that he uses pinging to find range I believe. So again we are limited by the uboat's available technology)

DIck O'Kane written tutorial

The bottom-line is that if you can get speed and course by some other method while submerged (like 4 bearing method) you don't need an accurate range to carry out a Dick O'Kane attack. The 90 degree setup of your sub to the targets course cancels out the need for an accurate range.
