The only problem I see with this is that U-boats were not equipped with any active sonar (pinging equipment) only passive sonar (hydrophones). Thus, how does the sonarman instantly get a range solution (assuming that he uses ping, which is not available to German U-boats..)

As I'm not familiar with your UIs mod (dam this laptop for being a mac..) I'm not familiar with the routine to get range from sonar. But unless it's triangulation it's not realistic IMO.
