In my opinion the AI is a joke in SH5, it looks like the one in SH4. The only real formidable AI I saw was in SH3. My guess is that developers tried to make a game to appeal even to non hardcore simmers, because there is no other explanation. Anyway if you are old to SH series you will have always the feeling that this game is unfinished, unpolished etc.
So if I were you I wouldn't worry too much about evading. Just dive to 40m and throttle max speed to go away from the convoy and then go home to refit.
If you really want a challenge check the modding section, there are some mods where the realism is as good as it gets. Cheers !
