AI Aircraft "Wiggle" when dropping bombs

[novel minnow]

AI T-55 with MK 82 dumb bombs rolls side to side when on a bombing run. It stops as soon as it releases the bombs it wanted to drop.

usually it doesn't affect accuracy, but they will sometimes go on a run and dive way more than they need to, causing them to abort and go around again, sometimes repeating till they RTB

AI needs to buy some rudder pedals

mission, singleplayer with a devcam unit

I think this is a more general issue of AI aircraft trying to overcorrect constantly

i've seen instances of tankers wiggling while trying to go in a straight line

[novel minnow]

I might do a test to see if other aircaft also do the same thing or if it's just the T-55

and if it changes with different bomb types

good call

[novel minnow]

well, they don't wiggle when you give them GBU-12's
but they don't drop the bombs either, they just fly over the target

[novel minnow]

ok, MK 82 AIR bombs seem to work as intended, no wiggle and it drops them perfectly on target

[novel minnow]

hmm, seems to be a T-55 thing, the GAV-25 using dumb bombs doesn't wiggle at all

[novel minnow]

interesting, it seems to be a MK 82 thing
they don't do it with the MK 83

T-55 AI's TGP was not powered on :/ (fixed)
