Welcome to Subsim,

It is not possible to advise destroyers to follow the layer unit.

You got so stay alone.

But why do you need an escort?

Are there fleet boats attacking you?

Like Xan said "AI" ships cannot be bound to a player ship...ex..when creating a mission w/ the mission editor you cannot be part of a group.

If all else fails Yamato you could always run away at flank speed and live to fight another day...I've had to do it myself when i came across an Iowa that put quite a pounding on me.

Welcome to subsim.

In SHIII when I was sailing Uberboot under British Colours
I would make a mission with a Battleship and cruiser
Squadron and map out there path through the coming
battle and I would just position keep as one of the escorts
going through the battle in formation.

similarly you could add yourself to the battleline of a Formation youve made
for the desired effect. the escorts for the formation will act as
normal. your just part of the squadron is all. you cant connect
a player unit to a formation in mission editor unfortunately so
thats the only way.

it does however have the effect desired and isnt difficult.

[edit] other hot tips shorten the engagement range of the guns of all ships
to keep it in visual range.
