Help with escaping DD escorts in IXC

So it is Dec. 1944 and I'm on a long distance patrol in the Carribean in my IXC when I pick up a enemy task force of DD escorts and a small carrier. I managed to sneak in and sink the escort carrier, but then the problem started. No matter what I do, how many decoys I use, how deep I dive, how silent I run I simply cannot shake this one DD.

I did a forum search and from what I was able to read I guess DD escorts get insanely capable at detecting and DCing you in 1944. I tested this by using the outside camera and noticed that even at 200+ meters with the escort just behind me if I go hard port/starboard the escort somehow knows immedialty which way my boat is turning and will follow my movements and DC me with insane depth accuracy.

Any tips on how to avoid these guys? Its getting a bit silly that they can detect me when I am silent running @ 220m and have deployed a semi-circle of sonar decoys. Oh I am also playing the Vanilla version of the game modded only with a few "eye candy" mods (wake mod, harbor mod and smoke mod).
