Question about AI following

I am back to flying for the Brits after a FEE crew bailed out of their plane and dumped it on my albatross. I have noticed that once I run out of ammo and have to break off the fight, the enemy seems to follow me much further than before the 1.2 patch. I have had single DII's follow me all the way to an allied aerodrome and just fly around indefinitely. Now I would never pursue an enemy aircraft that far into Germany. It reminded me of a ridiculous example in Aces of the Pacific where I had a flight of AM65's follow me across the Pacific back to my home base. Does anybdy else notice this/find it unrealistic. And if it is, is there anything that can be done about it. My understanding is that most fights ended inconclusively, otherwise aces would have had hundreds of kills based on the number of flights they flew or there would have been no aces as everyone would have been dead. So can the criteria for breaking off a fight be tweaked, or should it be? I understand that if I am east of the front lines, they can follow me with impunity, but you would think that if they are in western France, they would eventually think about getting home for supper :)

Hi Rick,
This is similar to attacking aircraft loitering for too long over a target.

That is being looked into by the Dev team and may help with attacking aircraft following (loitering) for too long when attacking your aircraft.

We'll see.
