AI fluke or coded in.

I was just doing a mission in the Georgian oil war campaign. I took out a number of targets until I ran out of missiles. As I turned to RTB some Manpads in the areas started firing at me. I managed to dodge three missiles but as I was climbing up a hill side the fourth missile clipped my rotors so I ejected. Anyway out from behind the trees comes my wing man. He then hovered there until i landed and then left. It seemed like he was making sure i was alright.

 

oh and not related but i somehow hit water then pulled out with minor damage. this was in the editor

I would guess that the wingman doesn't realize what vehicle you're in helicopter or parachute and was just trying to maintain formation with you as you floated down. Once on the ground he was free to go.

possible. It was the way in which he did it though. He was way closer than when in formation while I was still flying. And he slowly came out from the trees like a movie. that was awsome. It slowly glided out at first all I saw was the nose

Either way, he was giving you cover. Which is cool btw :)

Now you just have to walk all the way back to base. :P

 

Would have been cool to see though, like something out of a film *insert dramatic heroic music here* as he comes flying over the tree line to save your skin lol.
