Getting out of harm's way in time..

Air attacks; when they come, I'm warned by crew or the radar detector.
I've got the time compression, through SH3 Commander, set at 0 (pause) when planes are detected.
When detection occurs, I unpause and immediately crash dive.
So far, so good; and then comes the transition from diesel to electric engines.
Once the diesels shut down, it takes an agonizingly long time for the electric motor to kick in and start the propellers turning again.
By the time they do, there's maybe 5 seconds left before I'm depth charged. Sometimes I'm lucky, but will often suffer deck plating or flak gun damage.
My diesel/electric crew complement is full; green all the way across.
Has anyone found a way to lower the time span between diesel shut down and electric kick-in?
