1 knot is too slow. It is no better than being stationary. You need to be going at least 3 knots to have a chance at avoiding anything. The ASW gear in the late war is obnoxiously effective. The late war is more about survival than tonnage.
You need at least BOLD 3 to really have a chance in the late war. It attracts more initial heat from destroyers, but they will choose to focus on the decoy, rather than you unless you do something to attract attention and even then, it really boils down to luck.
