I usually try as much as possible to stay away from destroyers, frigates and corvettes, especially, if in coastal waters and in a type II boat.

If detected in an undamaged type II boat, one should be able to dive to 100-125m without problem, depending on which version (A,B,C,D). If neccessary, one can even push to 140-150m. This should be deep enough early in the campaign, as depth charges should not go deeper than about 130m, and of course silent running 1-2kn.

Engaging a ASW vessel that is already hunting you, is always tricky and should in my view be used, only as a last resort.

I agree, that the way the game engine works, the "historical/relalistic" tactics for ASW vessel evation, do only apply to a somewhat limited extend.
