'Drop Cargo' waypoint - AI takes forever to drop cargo, even in open areas

[colonelmolerat 1]

Using the 'drop cargo' waypoint, an AI helicopter carrying a vehicle takes a very long time to descend and release its cargo, even in very open fields.

It will slow down, approach the landing site, then suddenly veer off at speed, circle the area a few times, and try again. This can repeat for many times before the cargo is finally dropped.

 

I'm using version: 1.56.134627, on the main branch, Windows 10.

 

Here is a link to an example mission:

(The Hurons carrying the Hunters demonstrate this behaviour. The Slammer is being dropped using some code.)
