Default How to evade enemy ships

Hi fellas:

I for one is a fan of this simulation underwater- SH3 by the time it came out in the game CD's circulation though not sure years back when but from my experience it was an enjoyment after long hours of sea-hunting. I would like to short cut my question that's how the game is closely simulated to realism in terms of radar detection where by the time i hit a ship i cannot avoid there hot pursuit . what really is the tactic to overcome such? Can I use sniper-mode and swim away a bit or are there any ways to do the job and get away with it? I will be using GWX or stock this time when same thing goes the same. Is there a mod to change the the gameplay instead or maybe a go down deeper [mod] or is it embedded to make a tweak ..
What if i would take hide in an island..bla bla blah and avoid detection.?
i got lots in mind but not sure if its viable.. I know there are lots of mod going here and there so this is my query...if you mind..

Is the problem that you're having trouble with radar equipped escorts ? If so, the game already provides a very helpful cheat with the red lines that show the bearings to any radar equipped escorts.
The escorts radar equipped or not in the game aren't very good unless you allow them to be so you should have no problem attacking convoys at most any point of the war.
If you're hanging around after firing your torpedoes, whether surfaced or submerged, that is where your problem most likely is.
In either case, fire and get away asap. Don't hang around watching to see the results, etc.

If you set the max time compression when detected by an enemy to x32 in SH3 Commander when travelling at x32 time compression underwater the escort ships can't detect you (even if they're 5m above and going right over the top of you) and you can escape, if you go back down to x4 they will be able to find you again.

Deep appreciation from that response thats all thats what its got when there are no mods available as game changer. Maybe thats what makes it fun, the thrill of sneaking... Im a bit of over exaggerating the possibilities of gameplay..and btw i hope this game launches more mods and updates because im more of a fan of SH3 than SH4 and 5. So i hope my next query was on another thread--thats skinning. will get answers... since the skins i downloaded doesnt work or maybe i got wrong..installing it.
