I’ve been absent for most of this tour due to personal reasons and have only made 3–5 short appearances in-game. During my recent sessions (yesterday and today), I’ve noticed unusual behavior with bomber drones that seems different from how they operated in the past.
Previously, drone response time when returning to default position was fast and consistent:
Pointing the nose up and reducing speed would cause drones to return quickly.
Pointing the nose down during a turn would cause a moderate and expected drift.
Now, however, drones appear to drift more than usual, although they still respond to input. The rate of drift seems slightly faster, and the time it takes for them to return to default position appears longer than before.
In one instance, while performing a 180-degree stall turn, I observed a B-24 drone turn in the opposite direction of the lead plane. It ended up drifting 3–5 times the distance that would normally result in it being destroyed, yet it remained intact.
This behavior was observed on the Europe map, though I’m not sure if it’s specific to that terrain or a broader change. If HiTech has made an intentional adjustment to drone behavior across all maps, I have no issue with that—I just wanted to bring it to attention in case it’s unintentional or isolated to this particular map.
