I'm sure many players still aren't aware that lowering your speed at silent running to 2k will make a big difference and therefore probably haven't added the Dec. 23 fix either, for one reason or another. I've found that once that is accomplished, there is nothing exceptionally tough about avoiding damage, as long as I have some depth to work with and the war is still in a fairly early point in time.
And remember what Ducimus has showed you. It can be an advantage to run at a shallower depth to keep your acute angle towards a ship at a minimum, if possible.
