How dangerous is to use active sonar?

I am playing with TMO 2.5 +RSRD with no map update; and it is early in the war (radar is not available), so my question is:

in your experience, how dangerous is to ping a far away convoy? I am talking barely visible ships at more than 8 to 10K yards (stadimeter is useless there)

I have started to use sonar to try to figure out the convoy (or task force) course and range; and then position myself in their path; so for I haven't being spotted, and this approach has been less risky than closing (usually surfaced) to get a better stadimeter read.

thanks in advance
