This surprises me because it seems like submarines traveling at a reasonable evasion speed can change course fairly quickly. Combine that the area of uncertainty and it seems unlikely that the single shot Pk of your torpedo would be effected.

The best way to make evasive action useless is to practically drop right on top of him, the torp enters the water, starts pinging and a second later you hear the loud and satisfying BOOM when the torp hits the sub.

This makes more sense to me, because a smart sub captain is going to change course as soon as he hears the torpedo in the water, so even if you dropped where you thought was in front, by the time it acquires its target, it may be in a side-on or tail chase.
I think the most important thing is to drop the torpedo as close to the submarine as possible.
