Bizarre wingman AI failure?

[Noshadow]

On our way back to land at the airbase from a mission, my wingman suddenly spazzed out repeatedly saying "Two, rejoin" over and over while flickering all of his navigation lights at super-speed and slowing his heli down to about 110km/h.

 

He repeated "Two, rejoin" untill about 30 seconds after I attempted to send the radio message "Flight rejoin". He continued to flicker his navigation lighting and hold 110km/h speed untill I touched down at the airbase, at which point he seemed to correct himself and accellerate towards the airbase for landing.

 

Upon reaching the airbase he initiated normal landing procedures, except before he even attempted to land he just shut his heli off and bounced unrealistically off the ground a few times before simply exploding a few meters above the ground.

 

Attached the track of this. The mission was the one where you have to assault rebels that have taken over the town of Gundelen from the "Deployment" campaign. ( Excuse my poor piloting skills in the Ka-50, I just started playing and have less than 10 hours flight time :P )

 

Exact mission time my wingman "broke": 10:33:45

 

 

I thought maybe he ran out of fuel, as we were starting to run low, but he should have said something about that, right? I would think he still should have had enough fuel left to land, or atleast be able to perform a forced landing? Either way, his activity with his radio messages and navigation lights is clearly a bug, and his sudden decision to shut down just before landing and then bounce around before exploding is truely bizarre.

I just played that mission, (Deployment campaign - 3rd mission) and it happend to me exactly in the same way. We were coming back to back, on the final leg to landing, when he suddenly stopped, started to repeat Two: Rejoin over and over again. I landed fine, though I couldn't get any response from Tower after my initial "Inbound" request. Then Wingman crashed.

I got the same here last time I played mission. Guess it's because we are low on fuel. I see him start to fly back to base and I get "rejoin" all the time. I start to fly back to base aswell and he crashes a minute or so before I ran out of fuel a couple of clicks to short.

 

Having a hard time finishing this mission? :( Only find 2 ZSU?
