There was a bug in SH5 where an Escort will lock onto you and follow you forever, unlesss you saved and reloaded. Does anyone now if this has been cured?

Nope. It still happens on occasion. If you are willing to burn fuel, you can usually outrun them at flank until they are 25+km away, where the AI removes them from rendering and it resolves itself. I have never seen the "phantom escort" faster than 15 knots.

The worst one is when it happens and a refuel tanker gets stuck to you.
A save load doesn not fix it.
The tanker then charges at you at 15 knots and will hit you if you are not running away from it.
The only way I have found to get rid of it is to out run it - wasting the precious fuel you have just taken onboard.

I guess you could sink it

Maybe ask TDW about it? Maybe he will be able to solve that problem?

Im sure he has said he need to catch this happening to run the AIScript debug. This is the tricky bit as you cant save it (save load fixes it)

I have found that with the tanker refuelling - it happens most times and this is a good way to catch it with the debug.

@TDW
I can make a single mission with a refuel tanker if you want to check this out.

That's a good idea, Trevally, I hope TDW can help with this if you create a mission.

It would be great if he could solve this problem with your help because sometimes it strongly annoying..

Sure, send it to me. As I just finished my many months long mega-patch (AI crew damage control) I'm ready for something else

Single missions don't work for this type of setup

Anyway - here it is as part of a campaign
So install mod - start new career (total germany/coastal waters)- skip tutorial and go straight to your boat (start patrol)
You will get a marker just out of Kiel for the refuel point - when there - request refuel for supplyship (hogIsland

) to spawn.

The supply bug will send the ship straight at you rather than the Escort bug where it will hold a few km off.
But the way it attaches itself to you is the same.
