AI never actually lands with the helicopter transport module unless there is a helipad nearby
New, WishlistPublic

Description

I would like the helicopter transport module to have the helicopters actually land, not hover, and land where you actually designate the landing lz opposed to the helicopter searching for an lz when there isn't a helipad present.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Use the helicopter transport module
  2. Select either a pickup of drop off point that IS NOT near a helipad and watch as the AI pilot usually struggles to find a suitable landing zone
Additional Information

This issue not only subtracts from the realism aspect but also it also subjects your team to lots of danger when landing in a hot landing zone or hot extract point with the enemy being able to take tons of shots at you while the AI search for an suitable landing zone.

Also, it would be nice if the helicopter could just return to its helipad after you are dropped off and if it doesn't have a original helipad to return to, then you could set a place where the helicopter could land and shut off its engines rather than it sticking around.

Also, when you give chopper a waypoint and altitude he will not follow other waypoints ot it will bug somewhere in between .
