[5.2.0] Vehicle and Tank Pathfinding

[Malarki83]

The more this happens, the more it kills the fun. When issuing an order to vehicles and tanks, they turn around and drive in reverse to their designation, or turn around when reaching their point. We had several games in the past few days where tanks show their butt to the enemy, sometimes without giving them any movement orders.

Can you say specifically which units? There are different turn plan AI that decides whether a unit turns around or just reverses.

It´s safe to say that this happens with every unit. Be it Shermans, StuGs, Greyhound, Elefant.
Giving a movement order to 3 Stugs at the same time, to move like 30 meters forward, no obstacles between them and their target destination.....turn on the Benny Hill music. Happened right now.

After 100 hours into this mod, the pathfinding issue happens alot with Stug´s, Panzer 4´s and Shermans.
It can happen with other vehicles too, but not that often.

Since 5.3.2, it is back. Tanks, when given a simple move order, drive around in reverse.
