Cant get away from escorts in Magnum Opus

What is default setting? I've installed IRAI yesterday (with AirTorpedos) and finally airplanes start attacking me. Without suspecting much, I went for my usual good positioning- let the forward escort pass trough - submerge on periscope depth cherry pick best tonnage- shoot rear torpedo first and while it's reloading gun down two ships in front of me (two torpedoes for each) and then finish off the first one behind me convoy routine. Usually takes 100 seconds and on my way out I manage to hit another ship and get away.
Well.. this time it took me a lot of actions LOL. Maximum depth, shooting decoy while flanking and turning and shut off engines immediately after picking up max submerged speed after finishing sharp turn. Sliding a little bit on gained momentum and then lying low and quiet waiting for them to leave. Have to wait some time, like an hour or so.
I didn't make it first time - took boat below crash depth but second time I've got away.
If you still run the engines even in quiet mode - they still hear you. You won't get away.
