Before using the UZO to target other ships they would have already found the angles and speed through tracking techniques and locked it in the TDC. Range plays a minor corrective role in calculation of the gyro angle. It is only needed to adjust for the paralax angle introduced as the torpedo makes a significant turn with large gyro angles. And impact time or torpedo spread calculation for salvos.

Now the real trick is finding tracking techniques that do not rely so heavily on range to get course and speed. As you will need to know range if you want to plot their positions on the map, and fair their course from the points.
so that it will give you the Bearings at least!
You can get the bearing from the TDC. I tried a "UZO-only" surface attack yesterday and it worked, just not as convenient as with the periscope
