low helm
I'm not sure if this is a bug or something strange happening due to objectives, but sometimes in my custom escalation missions, the AI leaves the map border and just flies away from the area, I've seen crickets around 25km from shore, etc.
No clue what's happening, or if it's something that I've set that's messing with the AI. Sometimes the AI flanks, but a lot of the time it seems like they just fly out into the ocean and just loiter.

With the .27 update AI was given additional layers of complexity. They can flank, but at the same time, each unit has a "bravery" and "morale" attribute... both of which are low for crickets. So, what is likely happening is the cricket is wanting to flank attack a target, but the target is "scary" and the cricket is loitering until an additional allied aircraft comes along to help attack a more powerful target.
So, not necessarily a bug, but it could perhaps use some tweaking

miss the days where AI crickets would level bases with lynchpins lol

Okay, this makes sense! Usually I find them off the coast of an enemy airbase, so bolts, Revokers, etc are definitely present, that makes sense.

I've seen a Revoker almost 150km off the coast in a recent game. The AI was so scared he'd rather run out of fuel than face us.

i bet they can fly something like 500km

Probably, but if you ever watch them they just kind of loiter and fly in circles.
I wonder if they would actually rtb when fuel is low (at that range).
