ok. i went out on my first patrol. sunk a freighter with a escort. escort came after me and just let one round of depth charges loose. after that he quit and now all he is doing is just following me around and not doing ****. cant escape him but he is not even depth charging. hes been following me for 24 hrs now. wtf. this game is really starting to get old. yes i have irai installed. doesnt he ever run of fuel or go home.

It is a stock game bug and a well known issue. A lone destroyer's AI will hang and it will flawlessly shadow you at a specific distance. there is no patch or fix for it to my knowledge. The best way to clear it is save the game, exit and reload. The phantom escort will no longer be present. Another way i have found to clear it involves moving away from it at flank speed until it falls away past rendering distance (~30 KM) whereupon the escort disappears. However, I have only done this with a heavily upgraded engineer to boost speed. The bugged destroyers are usually locked around 15 knots. The first method is the best way to deal with it.
