For me - I keep this extra air defence with me. It always leaves after it has attacked something or as said. a save load.

It looks like at some point when you pass these ships and they latch onto you - that you become a group leader with the DD staying at its original bearing and distance untill its orders (bugged script) update.

These orders are updated with a save/load or after it attacks something.

Yeah, this enemy DD started out as part of a perfect circle of 10 or 11 DD's, as soon as my boat came within sight distance (when I started to course change for health reasons) it broke off from the group and I became it's mother....Oh brother. I don't need these kids

I did notice that they're really no problem, as they never seem inclined to attack.

..Yeah, it never even flinched, I think that's it...the group leader theory so...

If part of a group what tactic is it using? If you can tell me that tactic and if using my IRAI or not I can probably figure out why it's happening

...if you could tell me how to open the AI editor, if I can, next time it happens I'll save some screen shots or save the file if it's that easy and send it along.

Open up your \My Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg. Make this section look EXACTLY like this:

[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
MenuEditor=Yes
DebugScripts=Yes

Fire up the game. Go to game options. Select windowed mode. Save changes and exit game.

Now fire up the game again. Go into your career and begin mission. When you notice this strange unit behavior right click on the window bar at the top and select AI editor

I know this because I've literally taken this game apart piece by piece, dll by dll.

I've seen weird DDs too when I was ending a patrol there were some British DDs and they were weirdly going around in circles but when they were doing that THEY KEPT COURSE WITH ME they were spinning in circles close nearby but they would stop briefly and keep course with me then spinning in circles again.

i have seen that too but its a little different situation because in that case they are in attack mode, they had a ghost image of you and thought they were depth charging a sub

The ones that annoyed me didn't do that they just spun in circles from SW England up to NW of Scapa.

I think that when they are spinning in circles - they are just trying to hold range and bearing, but are set at a higher speed than you are travelling.
