Thanks CJMars I'll keep at it. One thing I may have been doing wrong is only given hard rudder in on direction. I did not shift my rudder. Can't wait to see it happen and see if it helps.

I have indeed found that giving a little rudder in one direction and then full rudder in the other direction is a reliable way to produce a knuckle. Also: I have found that flank speed (and I mean the speed you are actually making, not just what you ordered) is crucial to be able to produce a knuckle every time. If you're evading an enemy torpedo, things have already gone south enough for you not to care about noise for the moment.
