Oh, so that's why sometimes the flight leader takes off and then flys for 15 or 20 km in the opposite direction of the waypoint?
I was wondering about that. I've just been following him wherever he goes, but that can lead to boringly long and uneventful missions.
And this should be very easy to fix. Just a few hours in the mission editor and I learned that you can adjust the level of interest that bots will take in other bots, and the boundaries for this interest. I'm sure that the next patch will look at the beta's weak points and fix this one at least.
