I have been encountering strange behavior of some English destroyers.
Such thing comes from nowhere and obtains a position approximately 12-15 km from my boat and starts circling on the same place like crazy.

If I try to crawl away, it moves closer, although it can not hear me crawl.
If I yell "come and fight like a man!!!" and rush towads it on a flank speed, IT STILL KEEPS THE DISTANCE and moves AWAY from me, although this time I HAD obviously to be spotted via radar and via hydrophone for making a hell of noise.
As if there is a metal rod between us both.
This is confusing.

Once I attracted the attention of one of these "destroyers-on-a-rod" by sinking some merchant and making lot of noise, - than the damn thing finally came closer and started searching for me with its torchlights, again making stupid circles, although I had the snorkel sticking out of the water. Than I fired a G7e Zaunkoenig at that thing and after a short chase it struck the destroyer.

What the hell is this all about?
Some smart English tactics I don't get?
Has someone experienced these "Destroyers-on-the-Rod"?
