Unsolved AI Crashing into the ground when flying low level
-
I was flying a low level training sortie with the AI as my wingman.
I flew very low between the hills and suddenly I saw an explosion and the flaming wreck of my wingman, hitting a hilltop.
I know there are low level commands to give to the wingman but he shouldn’t crash into a mountain when following.
I suggest investigating improvements to the AI in this area since flying low level will be even more important with .38 and the increase in terrain features to hide behind. Perhaps give them the go trail command and follow as good as possible will do. This need to go hand in hand with attack possibility from a low level. Anyhow, I think it’s an important area to improve.

A LOT of effort has been done in this area already and Unless something got broken very recently , AI low level flying is very robust since 4.36
Are you able to provide a repro case ?

Which Theater, and are you sure it was not a man pad involved?

I’m not sure I can reproduce it and provide the needed steps.
It was a TE I made on default KTO theatre. I deviated from the original flight path and just ran 10 meters above ground, wing flew into a mountain.I’ll try to push it some more and see if it’s repeatable. On the other hand, it might just be a bit more realistic with an odd crash poor guy.
No manpads, sams or aaa involved. Friendly area just out side the airport.
