[1900.18] Strike mission flight path distortion issue

[erick33]

An issue has been identified where the flight path of a strike mission assigned to the enemy forces suddenly becomes distorted mid-flight. Specifically, the normal flight path abruptly bends multiple times.

If you run the attached scenario at "Flame" speed, you will notice the enemy bombers in the bottom-left corner suddenly changing direction. Checking this in Editor Mode reveals that the flight paths for other strike missions are also bent.

This is happening because their targets location (area of uncertainty) is constantly changing due to the satellites detecting them being jammed. The strike mission planner attempts to instantly generate a flight plan based on the first location that is detected and this ends up being in a strange spot because the uncertainty area is so large. The scenario designer may need to put them on a timer, use some sort of LUA to make sure the location is more firm or have them be auto-detected for a time.
