Turning into Torpedo spreads as well would I think count for this (as in trying to adjust your position so you are not where the attack is)
Turning into or away from torpedo spreads is more about hoping they miss either side, but can also mess up their target solution if you spot them very far away (not the common event). Usually you wanted to turn away, because most torpedoes weren't that much faster than a warship, so you might well manage to increase the range to the point where they ran out of fuel. All this assumes you weren't in a nice tight formation with friends, of course - in that case you just got to suck it up and take the hit.
