Welcome to Subsim,

It is not possible to advise destroyers to follow the layer unit.:-?
You got so stay alone.

But why do you need an escort?:o
Are there fleet boats attacking you?

Like Xan said "AI" ships cannot be bound to a player ship...ex..when creating a mission w/ the mission editor you cannot be part of a group.

If all else fails Yamato you could always run away at flank speed and live to fight another day...I've had to do it myself when i came across an Iowa that put quite a pounding on me.

Welcome to subsim.

In SHIII when I was sailing Uberboot under British Colours
I would make a mission with a Battleship and cruiser
Squadron and map out there path through the coming
battle and I would just position keep as one of the escorts
going through the battle in formation.

similarly you could add yourself to the battleline of a Formation youve made
for the desired effect. the escorts for the formation will act as
normal. your just part of the squadron is all. you cant connect
a player unit to a formation in mission editor unfortunately so
thats the only way.

it does however have the effect desired and isnt difficult.

[edit] other hot tips shorten the engagement range of the guns of all ships
to keep it in visual range.
