I am really perplexed on this one.
Sure Duc posted the AI he wrote on...Sonar is what spots you, broadside it has a bigger surface to bounce off of. As long as I keep a narrow profile to the nearest escort, I seldom get pinged.

They will cut searchlights on regardless of how they find you, they hear you deep, they cut them on.

Make sure you have your air radar down.

Use flank speeds when they make runs over you, if you're deep enough the charges should fall behind you. With the right tactics, even if they find you, if should be rare for them to hit you. I use flank with just a small turn, often if you make hard turns you'll run into a charge thrown by a Y gun.

I'll often come up and shoot at near merchants after a DD makes a run. I'll blow tanks to come up fast, just make sure you hit scope depth at about 150 ft or you may broach or even surface.

Changing depths also helps as they make their run. When you hear them speed up, I'll often change depth 100 ft up or down.
