yes there is a cone for pinging usually the closer they are the smaller the cone. To avoid sonar you want to be as quiet as possible and go deep. try to get below a thermal layer as they reduce the effectiveness of sonar.
the escorts will go to flank speed right before they drop depth charges, if they are directly over you and they go to flank (or suddenly increase speed) you should order flank and hard rudder (left or right) no sense in being quiet because they know your there. you have, I think 30 seconds, after the last depth charge explodes before thier sonar starts working again. youll want to be silent befor then.
