Planes all wobbly

[216th_Xenos]

Not sure if this is a AI issue or a PWCG issue, but the following AI (in LaGGs) wobble all over the place when trying to follow the leader in a climb. Happens to multiple planes, multiple missions, High Density/High Density.

 

Took a video of it, you can see it well in the first half:

I wouldn't worry about it too much but I can also tell you flying formation IRL isn't particularly easy. Close formation can be positively nerve wracking if you haven't practiced it before. I fly close formation in helos about twice a year and even with two crew aboard it takes a lot of concentration. Flying close in MP sims the first few times actually made me sweat and there was nothing at stake other than ego. The AI is just overcompensating to hold with you when that are close. They seem pretty smooth when you spread out a bit later in the vid. And......it is just AI after all

True, but these wobbles can get pretty extreme, I'll capture another video when I see it again. The reason they start getting stable though is not because I am spreading out (I'm not the flight leader, they are not following me) but because they stopped climbing at that point.

 

Another thing to mention, the AI flight leader is stable the whole way through, only those following go wobbly.
