AI a Little Too Adaptive?

Me and two other friends were on the finale of Death Toll just messing around, when we thought we would try to use the minigun to get on top of the roof. Well, we bashed it a little bit too much... actually, a lot too much.

My friend went flying and ended up on the opposite side of the map floating on an invisible ceiling. Me and my other buddy both did the same after calling the rescue vehicle.

Francis got owned quickly, and we all watched the tank in the distance. After a few seconds the tank just disappeared. We were all sort of laughing as zombies scrambled around not knowing what to do. I pulled my head up and looked straight ahead for some reason(keep in mind, I'm floating in the sky), and what do I see? A Smoker flying through the air straight towards me! The Smoker had jumped on the minigun and flown towards us! And, if that wasn't enough, he proceeded to do it up to 10 more times! Somehow he figured out that the minigun is magical, lol!

I just thought I would share this story with you guys.

I was playing on a server with low gravity on dead air, it was at finale and we jumped on plane. the regular infected couldnt get up and the directoer got pissed and the tank climbed up the plane

Smokers have a tendency to try and find the highest ground, so he naturally kept leaping up on the minigun to try and reach you, and as a result indirectly found himself flying over to you. I'd love to see it in action. :P

I remember one time our team heard the tank music and hid in a vent (NM4 behind the elevator), but he never came and the music stopped. We continued on, and when we got to the end and opened the safehouse door, a tank, 2 hunters, and a smoker were all in there. There was no music or rumbling when we approached the door either.

What did you do? From what I know the tank can't bash the door to the saferoom

The scariest part was that he did about 8 times or so and never made it. I thought I was imagining it, but I asked my teammates "Hey guys, does it look like he's getting closer?" Around the 10th time he landed on the invisible ceiling we were on and grabbed one of us. I killed him unfortunately. We were so confused and wondered if maybe he had clawed it to try to reach us, lol.
