I wouldn't do no emergency reverse with a DD charging at me, had enough depth charges hit me. The way I deal with destroyers that already found me is by letting them spot the scope so they tend to come on a strait path and launch an aft torpedo. Though I stopped attacking destroyers because they aren't worth the torpedo's unless there is only the one left then the convoys yours.
Best defense against escorts is not to get attacked by them, if you stay close to ships in the convoy you should be able to complete the attack without being depthcharged to much as they have a hell of a time navigating the columns in a convoy.
In SH4 I just drop a mine in the last 100m and nail them every time but until someone mods a mine torpedo into the game I guess that option stays in SH4
