Plane just randomly exploded (found out mechs blow up vehicles for some reason?)

[Krowe]

I was in the airfield and I was rolling through hangars looking for a plane and I found one and as I was looting the building that shi just exploded randomly
EDIT: So apparently mechs blow up vehicles ???

never messed with them, snuck past all of them and they still blew up the vehicle, which is a pretty dumb mechanic that a mech will just blow up vehicles so no planes will spawn lol

Mechs will blow up planes and vehicles that are on their way, if the vehicle is close to their patrol route and owned by the player they might go the extra step and gently blow it up. :)

the plane wasn't in its way tho lol it was just chilling ina hangar and it hadn't been entered or anything so I'm gonna keep it a stack 100% with you that's a pretty bad mechanic

The plane gets destroyed if you aggravate a mech and run away in the hangar, at that point plane will be on his patrol route.

you can refuel the plane and repair it multiple times. As long as he doesn't see you the plane won't get touched.

He never saw me, I was about to repair the plane after I started looting the hangar and he legit just came in and shot it lol

He could've but I was crouching the entire time and he wasn't near me at the time, about the time he blew up the plane he was just standing still outside for like 2 mins straight and then it blew up

Was this in single player, by chance? The mech behavior in SP is a little wonky at the moment.

Yes it was, the mech was acting hella weird as well, just standing still sometimes and not walking at all

That's probably the issue in your case, then. In single payer they're a little buggy. In multi player the general rules others have brought up work. One exception, however, is that land vehicles that spawn in their zone in bunker areas will be shot, even if they aren't aggro'd.
