Any 'plane that has a default formation of "Right Echelon" will act this way.
A way around this is to open your current campaign mission in FMB and change the formation in the "Waypoints" tab, then save the mission. Go back to your campaign and there should be no problem, you have to do this for each mission.

But I really don't want to close my game, take the file in "campaign", put it in "missions", go back to my game, edit the mission, save it, close the game, move the edited file back to "campaign", run my game and play the mission... and repeat the process for each mission where I have the issue. I really don't want to do this because it's way to long.

I have this problem only since 4.12.

Yeah, it's a pain in the arse, but until TD can find the time to sort it out I think it's the only way to avoid collisions between flights.
I edit the mission within the campaign folder and then just "save as" selecting "replace existing file"
The most time is taken by altering the waypoints as you have to change each one along the whole route (you only need to change those for the lead flight in a group as the subordinate flights will conform to the leaders formation).

Some AI aircraft will fly upside down for extended periods of time. I noticed this particularly in some Japanese aircraft. Even going into a climb upside down, which no pilot would do for very long (red out city). Anybody else see this? I didn't read this whole thread so I don't know if it has been mentioned.

The AI Ki-43s in the Singapore Campaign do this relentlessly, and they ram you too. (Been rammed twice in two attempts to complete the second mission escorting Blenheims with Buffalos. Both times the Hayabusa kept on flying as I fluttered to the ground in pieces).

I've given up (again) on offline.

I have a lot of respect for you guys that carry on in offline mode. How you have put up with this for over a decade is an amazing tale of perseverance.
