Why I can't play offline....

Why do the AI fly straight into hills and mountains? Is this historically accurate? I never knew there were so many suicidal pilots in WW2! :(

Didn't that happen prior to 4.03?

Suicidal pilots??? Primarily Japanese Kamikazes only: it is an undocumented feature in the sim, also known as The Darwin Factor ;)

It's been around since Forgotten Battles as far as I know.

Yes I find it very un-immersive also: I fly on my LAN, or less often on HL

It's because they don't "see" hills. Just like they don't see clouds.

Meaning you can't hide from them either :lol:

The AI learned one thing:

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

I'm thinking they need to drop the I, and just call them A's :D

It happened regularly in bad weather. I remember in fact a group of Fairy Battles lost to the coasts of Norway and a couple of German Ju-87 flights lost during a dive attack in Poland...
