Warship torpedo evasion?

Hello all,

I took a couple years off SH3, but came across my SH3 box in the closet and I'm hooked once again.

Anyways, here is my question.
I typically avoid warships at all costs, but every once in a while I have no choice when a destroyer makes a bee line to my periscope at full speed.

When this does happen, I usually turn straight into the path of warship, cut the engines and queue up a Magnetic torpedo with fast setting.
I then open the torpedo door, wait until precisely 1000 meters range and then squeeze the trigger.
This survival tactic usually works, but the ship usually makes an emergency turn to starboard (Right) just before the torpedo arrives.

My question is:
Do the warships always turn to the starboard side when making an emergency turn, is it based on other calculations, or randomized with AI?

Thanks!
