I believe the main point for destroyer evasion is showing yourself as smallest target as possible. The more you expose yourself, the easier for destroyer to find you. Normally, right after shooting torpedos, I try to guess the coming direction of escorts and move away exactly in this direction. By doing so, when destroyers come to my original place where torpedos were shot, they would have hard time pinging only my stern.
And sometimes I ask myself which is better: go in straight line which gives you maximum speed, or zig-zag and slow down your boat. There is always compromise that you must make.
