Typhoon 1b dead AI pilot teleports to heaven?

[widget]

As I was watching a replay of a dogfight against an AI Typhoon, I noticed the dead pilot gets teleported to heaven soon after the aircraft begins diving to the ground. I haven't checked if this happens with other aircraft. Excuse the poor res screenshot - it was taken in VR mode. But at least you can see the canopy is intact but the cockpit is empty.

It does. I know it happens in QMB dogfights if multiple AI waves are chosen. I've never looked at a campaign AI dead pilot to see if it happens there or not. I'd assume so.

Tank you. I assume it's a minor bug then?

No bug - this is done to free up the game's overhead.

Interesting.

 

Does this apply regardless of actual resource use - ie if in a 1v1 fight, a dead AI and/or player pilot is removed?

 

It's not important to me either way - but it's an interesting method of resource maximisation.
