Description

The aircraft does erratic movements at higher altitudes when selected from the UAV terminal.

Also, no ability to do ground lock makes all the AIR UAV's almost useless to laze targets with.

How high? Thinner air and increased winds can make high altitude annoying in real life.

I think "very high" is about 2-2.5 km. Maybe this was intended?

This is an AI bug as as soon as I take control the vehicle operates correctly.

Suggest replacing Ouzo for processor cooling with cheap potato based alcohol to dispel AI from getting drunk while on duty.

But in all seriousness, the darter is useless. I even experience this bug when it is flying at low altitudes.

Definitely, the Darter is absolutely useless as it is. The moment you set a waypoint in high (500 m) or very high (1000 m) altitude, the AI becomes incredibly erratic, flying in a drunken circles and whatnot, even if you manually fly back to a lower altitude. Also, even without any waypoints, the AI starts flying off on its own, so it's impossible to manually fly it somewhere, put it on autohover and switch to turret. NOPE, Imma gonna fly somewhere wheee. So fucking stupid.
