Or is it a "shot in the dark"...wet dark it is...

Well, it's not really that bad.
Any torpedo that is going to be seriously effected by the changes will have the ability to set a vertical search pattern (actually all have some vertical pattern now, even the ADCAP).
If you are in water less than 1000ft, even with a layer, a few hundred feet oscillation will be more than enough in moderate sonar conditions to get reasonable coverage with an average torpedo. In deeper water with a layer, you can judge your opponents position using the layer...
In any case, I find my depth considerations just "come to me" after I've been doing the work of tracking the target and getting a 2-D solution. I guess, at least for me, I'm happy with a good guess on the depth of my target, and set my torpedoes to account for me being partially wrong.
