Default Strafing ground attack AI, please have a look at it before final 4.09

Rcently, I've found that there is probably a bug in ground attack AI, as many planes plough it to the ground by strafing with guns or rockets. When close to the ground, they will usually do some funny break turn left, after that they realise they are to close to the ground. Afterwards they try to pull out and smash into the ground. It affects heavier and faster planes like Tempest, P-47, Mosquito more than for example Il2 Sturmovik. I've tested many different conditions, different attack heights, speeds and waypoints, but haven't got good results. The problem is especially apparent when you order or AI orders to repeat the attack. I've had a mission where whole flight of mosquitos crashed into the ground in the process. Do you think that it is worth sending tracks and report this bug, or will we live till the end with this (I think serious) bug in a simulator that has a ground attack plane in its name.
