Sure it is... within the confines of the game.
In real life the tracking party would establish a rough estimate of the course of the target based on range and bearing information provided either by the Cap. or XO's periscope observations or from radar data. From there they would use exactly that proceedure to establish the initial AOB. This would be compared to the Captain's estimate and then a big slap-fight would break out about who was right and the target would slip away.
But seriously folks...
The Archerfish had established the AOB of the Shinano from radar tracking long before they ever had it in view, using this process.
