AI Refueling Join-up unsafe


Recommended Posts

When an AI aircraft (only tested with F/A-18 Lot 20 so far) attempts to rejoin and receive fuel from a tanker at a high aspect angle such as nose to nose, there is a near midair collision most of the time, and in once instance of my testing he did in fact hit the tanker.

 

It appears as though the rejoin aims for a spot slightly behind the tanker but co-altitude, so they end up plowing into each other at anything other than an abeam, to aft rejoin.

 

Suggest setting the initial aim point for the rejoin to at least 500 (real world uses 1000) feet below the tanker until he is established behind, then can climb into a position to make contact.

 

Track attached.
