This ever happen to you in SH5?

[NeonsStyle]

Heyo All,

2nd Patrol for SH5, n out in the middle of the Atlantic
I run into two escorts who radio traffic says have detected
my presence.

They moved either side of me 10km off, and shadowed me for the
next 750km till I reach my interception point for a convoy moving
through my patrol area. Well, I don't want them messing up my
attack on the convoy, so I've gone deep & silent in the hope to
lose them... but they are just circling me at 10k out like sharks lol
There's no way they can detect me now, but still they circle.

Anyone had this happen to them???

This has happened to me many times, sometimes when they haven't even seen me.

It's a game bug. It may or may not be fixable, but the modders have been busy with other things.

Yeah, stock game bug, they're not really looking for you (not sure if they really are hunting your rather handy distant guided decoy though). I think they just become somehow 'associated' with your movements.

It can hapen with friendlies too; I once had an armed trawler (or the like, I forget now) bravely follow me all the way (at a distance) from wilhelmshaven to scotland! :haha:
