If you are attacking an escorted convoy or taskforce, exposing your shears to get a radar contact would be unwise.

If you have time and good ears, you can even use the sonar to estimate the AoB. The sonar method would actually work better in your proposed situation with heavy seas and an approaching task force, in my opinion.
Do you know any thread in which determining AOB with sonar is explained? I would like to learn how to do it
