Is this normal - strange airplane behavior??

There is a strange thing about airplanes: hen I order them to land somewhere, they will almost never land there but fly around for a while and finally land somewhere "they like to". Often that place is miles away from where I ordered them to land. I often zomm and pan around in my base to find my planes that are cluttered all around...

Normal, yes. Hopefully itll be changed before the next useless graphic update is included

Yes sadly, airplanes are being piloted by 3 yearolds with add. sometimes if i order a bunch of hawks to attack a ground unti they will circle a base and shoot anything sometimes the missles circle back and hit them o_O

I gave up actually landing planes a while ago. Just fly them at your enemies AAA and flak and you don't need to land them

I used to save space by telling them to patrol from one spot to the same spot. Needless to say, they get eaten by enemy AA, then spit out and eaten again.

ive seen something weird with planes as well lately, probably related to when they "crash" instead of instantly exploding, i was fighting with some friends on a giant map, i had about 15 anti air ships, and one brought a bunch of hawks, one thing led to another and all died... but one... which was flying straight up like it wanted to go into space, and all my anti air was still able to fire they're flak cannons at it even though it was almost up at the camera(i had to keep zooming out just to see it) needless to say it never died it just kinda poofed.

Random bug. It's fun when a fighter gets stuck above your enemys base and all of their aa just keeps firing at it, which eventually falls back down onto their base.

That'll teach you to spam flak!

Wasn't that bug with t2 fighters supposed to have been fixed?
