They aren't really "flying".... they're floating along in the ether that is supposed to be AH2's sky. When you lose one and it becomes "active" then it flies at normal attitude. Why bother coding a flight model for the drones? That's just 3x the work to process during 1 sortie.

Okay, good point :)

Speaking of proper pitch in level flight, I think the C47 and P38s need looking into. I don't know the proper pitch but these craft have a HUGE nose down pitch. I think the 190s are supposed to have a nose down pitch but do not, as well.
