To evade is simple. When you fire torpedos undetected, or if you are found and you dive, the Escorts make way to your last known location. If you are diving, you need to use flank speed for as long as possible to get away from your pursuers.
If i am headed north, and I dive after being detected, I want to change my direction. I want to get at least 3-5km away from the spot I was detected at, so I set a compass on the Nav map. Also, do not head into a convoy or other ships. If you are evading, then evade! do not head into the fray. They will hunt you a long time! I try not to make outrages directional changes if i am able, to get out of the area as soon as possible. Once the escorts get within medium range, I want to be silent running, and my engines set at 50rpms. Go to your knots dial, and select something under 1knot to get this rpm status. The command room has an rpm gauge for you to use. Silent running in SH3 was not modeled correctly. It only sets your speed to slow, which is around 2 knots and still loud.
