Yes, I know what you are talking about. They are evading; just not evading any particular torp. My point is that while AI behavior is hard coded, speed is not. The idea is to compensate for the constant helming slowdown by artificially pumping up the speed. I was assuming that ships have a cruising and max. speed.
