Those screenshots depict a urc bomber dropping bombs while using a cruise altitude of 1000.
Here is the synopsis of why bomber and aircraft in general dorkiness is happening.
Basically, and aircraft must be at (or near enough) it's cruisealt to be able to execute a command from it's cruisealt.
In a simpler way of saying it, an aircraft must be at it's cruisealt to execute an order (like dropping bombs). However the problem is that the aircraft does not have enough room to ascend (because they start trying to move forward as soon as an order is given). If they do not have enough room to ascend they will start doing figure 8s. Give the order to attack or move farther away from it, and if the distance is sufficient enough for the aircraft to reach it's cruise altitude then it will execute the command.
Unfortunately the rate of ascent and decent for aircraft cannot be changed and are hardcoded at the moment. If we were able to change rates of ascent and decent, fixing most of the aircraft dorkiness would be easy.
SO devs, please take a look into this and do what needs to be done to fix it. Thanks for listening.

Discuss the source code and development of Spring Engine in general from a technical point of view. Patches go here too.
