Had a bit of time for these fixes. The heli drop side bug was very easy. The mis-alignment not so much (as expected). I think it happened for me once, but I’m not sure, as the next AI move destroyed the unit. I have a hunch it is somehow connected to the available processing power. Are you using some lower-end PC by any chance? I develop it on i9-9900k coupled with RTX 3080, so I have more than enough. I think I should do some tests on Steam Deck, maybe this will reveal something.
Thanks! In the meantime I have prepared a map full of helis, which I used on SD and managed to sometimes reproduce the issue as a player. With AI I can reproduce it more easily. I will try using the same method on my desktop and see if it happens there.
I have some crude fix for misalignment of AI units, but player ones need more work.
