Set your rudder for 5 or 10 degrees away from the nearest DD. Keep it there.

When they set up for a DC run, they will move in a straight line to where you used to be. I don't think they can work against a turning target.

I have survived using this method. It might help.

You can also zig zag using the 5 and 10 degree turns off your intended course. Don't turn too often though or it becomes a straight line to them.
