Hello, I've just joined this forum today, but I've been downloading mods off here for awhile now. I'm glad to be able to finally get in touch with the community here, even if it is under not so ideal circumstances.
Anyway, I have a problem with how the AI reacts to certain loadouts on certain planes in my game. I am running the latest version of BAT with all expansions installed and am trying to make a naval strike mission in Vietnam with A-1H Skyraiders. Unfortunately, whenever I put a large loadout on the Skyraiders, the AI is unable to properly take off with them and will always either plummet into the ocean on carriers or crash into a treeline or terrain deformity on land before it has a chance to properly gain altitude upon takeoff. Now, when I take off on my own, I don't have this issue as I am perfectly capable of taking off the Skyraider with such heavy loadouts on my own, but for some reason the AI can't handle the weight from these loadouts and always crashes when taking off in some way or another. Is there any way that this can be rectified without having to do an air start, or do I not have any other choice than to do the air start? On a side note, I've also noticed the drop tanks on the Skyraiders don't appear attached to the plane, but floating under it, but I consider this to be a secondary issue at the moment.
