AI F-4E Going Stupid

[Bowie]

AI F-4E goes stupid.

They go into an orbit at low speed and altitude, until they run out of fuel and crash.

Happens after extended engagements involving both MiGs and SA-2s, where they spend a lot of time in full burner.

Could be Bingo Fuel related, maybe that it occurs during engagement.

 

This is a great F-4B track. (F-4E w/ AIM-7E/-9B, sans 20mm ammo)

Excellent performance, until after the last Enfield 01 kill, at the 28:15 mark.

Then, all remaining F-4E's go stupid.

 

EDIT: Apparently can't, b/c the POS Track function tracked the lead MiG, instead of the F-4E.

I also have issues with AI F4, specifically flying into the ground at a higher rate than one would expect.

Attached is an engagement as part of Reflected's F4 campaign. 2/3 AI F4 crash into the ground.

Thanks
