Steps To Reproduce

Place any AI amphibious vehicle behind a house using either the editor or Zeus. Order them to move any distance across the house. The AI will repeatedly back up and ram the house, as if headbutting it.

This behavior does not happen with non-amphibious vehicles, for example all main battle tanks, they back up properly and drive around the house.

Additional Information

The same issue also extends to DLC such as Global Mobilization, and even user generated content (mods).

We did a performance optimization 2 years ago, for Boat pathfinding to not calculate houses and obstacles that are on terrain above sealevel, because boats cannot drive outside of water.
Turns out, game thinks amphibious tanks are boats!
