Now, I'm here to sink merchant tonnage, not to get into cat and mouse games with warships, so while I am still outside of his visual range I reverse course and move out slowly.
But he follows me.
I am still out of his visual detection range so I increase speed. He increases speed.
I change course. He changes course.
I slow down. He slows down.
I decide to submerge, head north and go to silent running for a few hours in hopes he will get bored and go away. Nope.. he just hangs around. Never getting within attack range, and never moving away. I surface, change course and pour on the coals and he matches me course and speed. We are now over 100 miles from where I picked him up and he is still there.
Again, he never closes the distance, never moves in, but he is stuck to me like an annoying kid brother.
I may have to sink him just to get rid.

Dragging this thread out to say that I've found if you save and reload, this behavior goes away. I had some stupid DD dogging me this way...spinning figure 8's about 8 or 9 km out, following me around the Faroes - I saved, reloaded, and he was gone. Hope this helps anyone else having this issue.
