In mission 4, I was able to destroy the pursuing hostile freighter.
I maneuvered with a sharp turn across the bow of an oncoming ship to his port side using my simple avoidance maneuver table. The pursuing freighter went to his starboard and turned behind him. I was piloting the Triton. I hung close off the port side and turned around to scan for the SSK.
For some reason the pursuer plowed into the back of the freighter. Their icons merged on the radar screen and he disappeared. The freighter stayed on screen, chugging along merrily as if nothing happened.
Curiously the SSK came to periscope depth and I picked him up on radar. This made the end game a lot easier. I just at there backing up and maintained distance. The SSK headed towards the pursuing vessel's last location.
The bug seemed to be that the pursuing vessel did not appear to have visual or any other clue of how to avoid the freighter, and the freighter stayed on screen after the ramming incident.
