Your evasion technique needs some work. If you have fire your first torpedoes the escorts already know your general bearing.
Make the most of the time you have between firing and them being on top of you by going flank. This will move you, help you dive even faster and once your past 200 feet you can cut back to slow to make less noise. As soon as you cut back turn 45 degrees while still diving in the opposite direction of the escort.
Get deeper. ... now that your deeper .... go deeper.
If you add some of the better environmental mods you'll not only get a better visual on water and clouds but it aids in making attacks in the fog.
I have some environmental settings from a mod and I just made a day time surface attack on a huge convoy escorted by at least two destroyers and four smaller escorts. I managed to sink 5 ships and score three deck gun hits on an escort without any of them seeing due to the limiting fog bank. Being that you can make out silhouettes and you visually tell the difference between escorts and merchants and steer according to avoid being attacked yourself.
If I had been submerged they would have heard my engines but it was 1940 and the British didn't have the radar to see me on the surface. I'm on my way to New York to see what kind of trouble I can get in with
