As I was setting up a mission in the persian gulf map, I noticed how the AI aircrafts behaved when they came around for their landing approach. I placed the carrier in a valley near Khasab, in order to lay hidden from the enemy.
But it seems like the AI doesn't respond to obstacles in the landscape, when it has begun it's approach (only aircrafts on the carrier that might be in the way). As a result of that, half the squadron currently flies straight into the mountain and crashes.
I know this is not an urgent fix, as the ED team probably has enough on their hands with the F-16C/F/A-18C. But it would be nice to see a fix to this in the future, as it kinda destroys the experience a bit :)
