I just want to add to the evasion. My tip is don't be the guy that just goes deep and waits to be depth charged. There are a few things to be done when hunted:
1)if surfaced attempt to run away. The uboat has really fast engines. You can run away from most escorts.
2) don't just dive deep! Evade! If you know you are hunted, and there is time, hit flank, dive around 100m and get out of the area you attacked from. I generally place a 5k ring around the boat, pick a direction and get out of the circle. Don't just dive deep and wait. Crash dive and get out of town. Only when they are on top of you will you want to go deeper and slow down!
Most guys send torps and want to watch the fireworks... don't do that. Send your torps and get out!
