Yes it is. You have to patch the sh5.exe. It's the 15th patch called "TDC AOB and Speed dials resetting when TDC is on and using stadimeter"

I recommend to use the patcher, but if you can't or don't want to patch the files, you can alternertively guess the distance or measure if you have the contacts updated on map or just leave it to 100 km. In most cases past 2000 meters it works.

P.S. You can use the degree marks from your UZO or Perisope and calculate the distance with
Code:
Target Range = Mast Height / tan (angle)
I don't know if the Values are the same in SH5 but here are the values from the Angriffsscheibe Handbuch for SHIII:
Optic - Small Marks - Large Marks
Periscope(1x or 1.5) - 1° - 5°
Periscope (4x or 6x) - 0.25° - 1.25°
UZO (7x) 0.2° - 1.0°
Use a sliderule with ST-Scale or the Sinus charts in the UI
