reported Ah-64 AI wingman completely ignore trees and crashes when told to "engage ground targets"

[metzger]

test 1 - hover low level, target behind building no los. Give engage ground targets command to WM, he starts moving around and hits a tree

test 2 - same but from higher altitude, same result, WM hits a tree and crashes

test 3 - same as test2 but target in the open with LOS, WM still drops altitude and starts moving around barely avoiding trees but at least hits the target. He still ignore the trees and was very lucky not to hit one.

test 4 - target in the open but lower alt than test3, WM hits a tree and crashes.

All tracks attached. 

EDIT: just to mention sending AI WM to reccon mode from low alt leads to the same result - he hits a tree and crashes.
