AI Helicopter cannot follow vehicles

Description

So here is the situation:

I've set a Bluefor Hunter to go from Agia Marina to the lighthouse near
the Kamino Firing Range and I've put down an AI helicopter (PO-30 Orca)with a waypoint on the car to "get in nearest" for the first try and "destroy" for the second time.

In both times the AI helicopter started making huge circles aimlessly around the car, thus not really following it.
It is really annoying for me when I'm trying to make a mission where the heli follows and tries to chase/hunt down the car.

Thank you for your time,
Mark Smith

Iv managed to get this to work using 2 MOVE waypoints for the helo, both placed on the hunter, followed by a CYCLE waypoint.

So long as the hunter is on Full speed and the helos on Limited it works fine, otherwise the helo does a stop start thing so that it doesnt overtake the hunter.

Also make sure their both set to careless otherwise the helo will just attempt to make strafing runs on the hunter.

Mass closing ancient tickets with no activity for > 12 months; assume fixed or too trivial.

If this issue is still relevant in current dev build, please re-post.
