Early war this is less of an issue as most escorts are still rookies, but err on the side of caution (unless you have lots of water underneath). If you're evading multiple escorts just go slow, and change depth often. If it's just a lone escort, have at it

ALSO IIRC escorts only use either ASDIC or hydrophones, never both at the same time (coding or something). So, if they're pinging, they're not listening, and vice versa. Doesn't mean they don't take turns though.
