Description

The Aircraft out of ammo behavior as it is at the moment isnt micro friendly it lead to create chaos on the battlefield.
Units try to automatic reload when they are out of ammo for the target. This behavoir displease the "competetive " scene because its almost guaranteed to lose aircraft due to this.
A idle animation instead of the automatic return to reload would be much better. A move order to the next waypoint, if existent would be great.
This out of ammo behavior is not implemented for the attack move which makes everything more confusing.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the aircraft out-of-ammo behavior and the separate attack-move handling; done means aircraft no longer automatically return to reload, use an idle or next-waypoint behavior as appropriate, and behave consistently for attack-move orders.
