small problem with ai helos in LwAmi 3.02

Yes LuftWolf, I thought it could have something to do with faulty physical model of the helo. I noticed that most of the times the helo hovers at a certain altitude while dipping the sonar and then, when it starts moving forward, descends another 17 meters before starting to climb up at normal cruising altitude. Since it seems that the dipping altitude set in the doctrine file in 45 feet (13-14 meters) it's quite possible that the little stupid chopper will just crash in the water all the time. This behaviour seems to be independent from any weapons released under or above water. I just set the dipping altitude to 90 feet (27 meters) and it seems that the little bugger doesn't kill himself anymore. Maybe this solution or something similar should be tested some more and maybe retrofitted to the LwaMi doctrine file.
