The new AI as of 3.201 seems obsessed with flying into the ground

For the most part the new AI has been a massive improvement, and their combat capability has been much improved.
But as someone who tries as hard as he possibly can to keep his AI squadronmates alive in Career mode, I feel like I'm going to start ripping my hair out if I see another 20+ kill ace split-S into the ground while trying to shoot down a Sturmovik.
It happens literally every mission, over and over again, and I don't know what to do about it.


As near as I can tell it applies to the AI flying other aircraft as well.
I've found that if I fly level on the deck and turn into a diving enemy, 9 times out of 10 they will try to roll inverted to come up under me and end up smashing into the ground.

It doesn't matter if its an I-16, La-5, MiG, or Yak, every pilot on the front seems to be suicidal.

I think that the new physiology model definitely has something to do with it, but that shouldn't be a factor when the AI even in level flight will consistently enter steep low altitude dives straight into the ground.

Can anyone else corroborate my experience?

Ah, thats good to know, hopefully it will get some dev attention soon
I'm currently bashing my head against an intercept mission where my flight of G2s gets IL2 tractor-beamed into the ground like clockwork, and am somewhat frustrated lol.

Just had Ai planes starting from another airfield crashing into the ground, after the leader and the first wingman all 6 followers went down before the first waypoint after Take off it seems. The two in the air won't follow the route, but cicle around, something must be wrong LoL. .... Tested JMs Rheinland  Aachen mission, that seemed OK however, before the 3.201 hotfixes ...
