The longer the time between firing and impact, the greater your chances of getting away without being detected. I've made a couple of attacks at ~8000 yards (not by choice, it was the only chance I'd get) and since it took about 8 minutes between firing and impact I had plenty of time after firing to dive deep and maneuver away. In shallow water you can't dive deep, but still long range shots make it more likely for you to evade. Of course, they're harder.
