AI leaders of infantry squads sometimes lead their squad in circles.
New, NormalPublic

Description

AI leaders of infantry squads sometimes lead their squad back and forth, repeatedly in circles, instead of toward their next waypoint. This can happen even if they are miles away from nearest enemies. They will continue doing this seemingly forever, I've seen them do it for more than 45 minutes.

I've only ever seen special forces and sniper AI leaders do this. Which leads me to believe it is a problem caused by high skill level. (General or Command skills, I presume).

If a player moves near the group, sometimes it will cause them to start moving toward their waypoint.

I am not able to provide any further information at this time.

Additional Information

EDIT: Realized a picture could be helpful.

The distance from the AI group to the wp may be fairly near.

The length of the path the AI leader takes, from end to end, could be as much as several hundred meters.

Again, I've seen this behavior both when enemies are and are not near to the group.

My hunch is the ai is trying and failing to go around beaten zones.

By the way, I'm using the phrase "in circles" to indicate that the group keeps revisiting the same positions over and over again without making progress toward their waypoint. Then are not literally moving in circle shapes.
