Don't forget the ai_sensor.dat. By default all JP active sonar (excepting Q sonar equivlant) has a very shallow max elevation. 100 on all. What this means, is its incredibly easy to get under the beam, and due to the projection of the beam, it wont be at its deepest point until its at its maximum range. Which kind of sucks because when the escort is looking for you, you won't be in that deepest portion of the beam most of the time, you'll be under it. This is why they can get a ping from a ways off, but once they get closer, the pinging stops.

Increase the max elevation by a large amount, and you'll get more pinging, but i beleive the problem then becomes making the AI escapable.
