There's an alternate solution to the problem: never identify a target! Well, you do have to identify whether it's friend, foe or neutral, but after that, who cares! There is a family of attack methods called the constant bearing attack.
They all live over at the Sub Skipper's Bag of Tricks thread, the Dick O'Kane method, the John P Cromwell method and the vector analysis method. None of them cares about target identification and so long as the torpedo can reach that far, none of them cares about range either! You can set up a constant bearing attack in your TDC a half hour before you shoot and only have to worry about putting your boat into the right position and mashing the fire button at the appropriate times.
