No hiding IMO, but what supermod you are playing might have an effect here. To my understanding in NYGM the escorts pick you pretty easily if you don't manage to get away from their search patterns.
SH3Commander simulates thermal layers, but you don't know at what depth the layer is as it's randomized every time you load SH3 through SH3Cdr.
The torpedo does turn, but I haven't tried anything bigger than running parallel with a column of merchants and shooting torpedoes that need to turn 90 degrees and then hit the target pretty much parallel. My understanding is that doing this can only work if you have very accurate target data, so I haven't tried this after starting to learn manual targeting.
