Theoretically, no it doesn't matter/yes it's possible. The torpedo doesn't care what it runs into. If you have ways to figure out propper range, and speed without knowing ID then there is nothing stopping you. AOB is not dependant on ID. But it would need to be with methods not using the notepad since it needs ID to get the mastheight out of the book. You also need to take a guess on how deep his keel is if you fire magnetics, as without ID the recognition book is no help in that either. But you should perform an ID of the flag anyway to make sure it is not a neutral. No shortcuts here.
