Interesting AI Behaviour

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.

it happens on almost every patrol run. 1-5 Destroyers are folowing you. They always match the speed and course. One time the same happened with a convoy of merchants... You can`t get close to sing them, and you can`t run away. This game has so many bugs that it should be named The silent hunter bug game.
And the only thing that`s important to UBISOFT is the DRM and the money.
