I just flew a balloon defense mission. After coming out of warp near the second waypoint, the flight leader started a slow circling descent from around 8000 feet. The rest of the flight followed, right down to the ground, where three of them crashed for no reason - there was no flak and no enemy contact.
This left my wingman and I. I warped to the next waypoint and came upon an enemy flight. I turned to follow them, but my wingman stuck to the flightplan, so I alone dived on what turned out to be a flight of 5 unarmed aircraft. They politely stayed in level flight while I shot three of them down, but with no witnesses. :cray:
Is there any explanation as to why the AI would 1)crash into the ground, and 2)fly straight and level while it gets shot to pieces? Anything I can do to fix it?
