I continue my right hand turn, dive under the layer, and rig for silent running, now heading due south. It's a little out of my way, but I think I have this guy fooled. He stops his engines and is looking around, pinging like crazy, then stopping, then charging on some phantom contact and dropping half a dozen charges.

Yep! That's a good tactic especially against a single escort. The nice thing about making noise like you did is when he makes his run you're already moving fast. That makes it much easier to evade the dc's. There are times when running works better than trying to be quiet--like when 3 escorts make a run on you 1 after the other in quick succesion.
There really isn't a set-in-stone correct way of evasion I use because there are so many variables involved. But I do have set ideas and methods for most any situation and the one you mention is included in that list. The go deep and run silent is the one I use the most though. It's really just a matter of picking the right method at the right time. And then I
almost always get away :hmm:. Luck is still a factor
