AI will drive non-amphibious vehicles into the ocean in an attempt to keep in formation
Acknowledged, WishlistPublic

Description

Obs:
AI driving a non amphibious vehicle are so enthusiastic about keeping formation, they can drive into the ocean and destroy the vehicle. This is especially noticeable when the group leader is on foot and moves near the edge of the water.

I have no idea how I have assigned this report?

(All the AI (except general AI issues) get assigned to me automatically ;)

The AI in tanks tries to avoid the sea and usually doesn't go in there intentionally. If you go and take bath they won't follow you.

But it seems buggy sometimes and either the AI plans a wrong path (going thru the deep water) or doesn't brake enough to stop itself from entering the water.

No noticeable change in 1.54.

Vehicles in formation with soldiers could be handled differently, with much larger spacing and lower formation precision requirements (as is a vehicle need only be with 100m of optimal formation position, while soldiers need to be within 1m).

Agree, confirmed. Bug very frustrating. Thats why there is not so much lakes on Altis & Stratis :)
