I think that's how it works in the game; I've gotten some accuracy on the range and atleast knew where I should have the helo drop the DICASS.

Oh yeah that'll work, but the likelihood of catching a modern submarine blade signature in real life on an SQR-19 is slim. Even in game with LWAMI I can't say as I've seen one.
As well, there is "bearing jitter" on a real towed array, which means you can't plot the bearings on the strip plot until you have faired (averaged) bearings. That means a number of updates before you can even start, whereas the doppler relationship is immediate.
