Thinking About Evading Searchers

Sure if no ones knows where to start looking... but in my game experience evading becomes important once you've launched that first salvo, then everyone knows almost *exactly* where you are and where to start looking. Your cover is blown because everyone has a clear datum to prosecute. 1-2 ASW aircraft are no doubt blazing at 100 knots to your exact location (if the AI is any good). If you say still too long, a active dipping sonar is about to drop right down on your head to ping you and a torp will soon follow. You have to move and move fast, because they are coming for ya and coming quickly at that.

Soo.....trying to slink away at 3-5 knots is suicide, you have to move fast to clear datum. After a strike your sleath is already blown, and location are already given away. Its just a matter of hoping that you have caused enough confusion to force the enemy to break contact for just an few minutes while you run for the hills.
