Well--I added some special code that make the escorts particularily difficult only on your computer

S-Class is a lot more scary with this mod I'll admit. Still haven't been sunk...yet. Those 2000+ yard shots begin to be more appealing if it means the escort has to travel 3000+ to reach me. Gives me time to set up--point my stern at him. That can save your butt.
Edit for Hints: In the course of testing this mod, I've discovered that I needed to change my tactics a little. With the sound mods included, it is much easier to hear approaching escorts. the "bad" side of this was I originally found myself going to flank and evading too early. This gave the escorts (especially the little guys) time to catch me on passive and compensate. They were more deadly than ever.
Now with "fast turners" I let them almost pass over me before I will accelerate. Beginning a turn as soon as you get in their blind zone also helps--they don't seem to pick up on that. The combination of already turning off the course you were on and speeding up pretty much at the point where they drop charges, works pretty well. It often leaves you close enough to receive some serious tooth-shakers though. When setting up your evasion, think about the K-guns 1st. They get me more often than the rack charges.
As for Destroyers, the same principle works but they have a tougher time reacting to your evasion (they turn slower). It allows a little more "slop" room to work with. They're also really boogying when they come in and often don't seem to hear with passive at all during the run. Unless they do that annoying 30 knot drift which the game seems to think makes them able to hear.
