Maybe Robert Mitchums the captain and just wont let go

Haven't had this happen yet, mind you haven't played much yesterday or today as the master Servers seem to be borked.

HA! I was thinking the exact same thing. Kept remembering the line "Well... he certainly squirms like a pigboat".

Well, me and Hymie might have a surprise for him!

It´s a hidden Ubi DRM policy

Now seriously i think that could be a broken script, perhaps following the u-boat and requesting assistance to other units , like hunter killer groups, but not funtional.

Had 2 dds folowing me this way the other day
Increased TC and they stayed following at a respectfull distance
Then they pounced
Due to TC and blind watch crew got the death roll as dropped to 1
Nice

Well I got sick of him hangin' around so I went to PD, turned into him, kept the scope up and when he was at 600m, 0 AOB, Bearing 0, I let him have it.

Quite satisfying, really!

This is almost exactly what happened to me. Had 1 following just like John Channing described. Put on the speed, upped the TC, and wham. Got me.

I had the same thing first patrol but it was friendly. He finally went away but was a pain. The only saving grace wace the patrol mode to keep friendly from tripping TC

This happened to me in SHIV a few days ago.
Since the ship was constantly SW from my location, I set my course SW, and, eventually, he ran into some... land.
Now I've got the same issue in SHV, and Bretagne ain't that far.

Happened on Patrol last night. Had just taken out a few merchants when 3 destroyers made their way on the scene. Went to 50 meters, stayed quiet until the passed. Surfaced and got a 4th contact. Bad weather so he was outside visual but I could see him spinning around like a top. Moved in to see what was going on, he kept distance. No matter where I went he stayed at the same distance spinning around in circles.

Got tired of having my crew constantly calling him out so I started moving towards him to torpedo him. Couldn't close the distance and he ended up crashing into the coast of France.

I do think it's a broken script of some kind; it is as if they are going into a hard-coded escort routine. I'm sure someone poking about could find it.
