Happened to me last night, right after my very first enemy contact in campaign mode. I'd just sunk a tanker (Cimarron class, British-flagged and in 1939 - WTF?) and about 20 miles later, two DDs appeared and followed ma for a while. Never in a straight line, always buzzing around at 35 knots, but although I was out of their detection radius, they always seemed to know where I was. When I changed course, they did as well, but never charged in for the kill.
Eventually of course, their greater speed pushed me into their LOS and they pounced.
The overall behavior leads me to suspect that for whatever reason, they were treating me as a convoy, which is why they always seemed to know where I was, yet never attacked until I eventually wound up in the detection radius.
My question, is this happening in 100% of cases? If so, it's the final game-breaker for me until patched.
