With 1.3, if you enter the DD's sonar cone above the thermal, he is gonna ping you, no doubt about it. SO, stay out of that cone. If you are below the thermal,
I have seen it go either way (experience=yes,inexperience=no) The DD's experience of the crew makes a BIG difference. Sometime I see the DD get a
ping return, so I immediately change depth, speed up and turn. Usually he will
drop close but not on me. I try to always steer towards the zig-zaging targets
so at the last moment I came come to PD, shoot and go deep again. This works
the majority of the time but if the DD is just to close, I go for another target...
