Warship running circles?

alboverburn · 08-23-16, 06:29 PM

I'm sitting at 50m deep, 0 knots, and for about 24 hours straight my sonarman keeps reporting on a warship, and I can't understand what is going on! Is it running circles around another sub?

alboverburn!

In my unmodified SH-V there was an occasional nasty bug of a destroyer or escort shadowing the U-boat at a constant unchanging distance parallel to your course( Bearing 138-139 at of your starboard side)...never deviating, just annoyingly there! Clearly a defect in the basic game. I never used the nerdy soundman too much but it sounds like the bug escort. Pull in for a refit near friendly destroyers (Heglioland) or surface and/or crank up the time lapse to maximum to lose the escort. It worked for me-assuming your also unmodified.

I call it 'The bridesmaid Bug'.

SH5 is much much better modified.

Sounds like stock "sticky destroyer" bug... Just save/reload the game and it will "unstuck"...

I get this bug even running the latest Wolves of Steel modpack.

Sometimes if you drive close to shore you can "shear off" your follower.

Bearing rarely changes. You could be at one of the harmonics and the ship is very far away.
