AI to drive large boats?

Hello,
I want to have the Ai be able to drive the Prince of Wales and other large sea vessels. The problem is the bots simply stand idly at the cockpit and dont move around. I tried giving the PoW other Ai like the landincraft with no success. Any ideas?

They move around, but it doesn't happen often enough. You can look at the map Iwo Jima. I play on that map a lot. The bots will move the ship a little bit, but that is all.
Because the bots don't have a goal to drive the boat to [such as a flag], I think they just roam freely and fire the guns. They don't go far.

I noticed.
They usually never drive the carriers and when they do its just a little.
I was making a mod which has carriers and battleships flying around. I tried using aircraft AI and it seems to work, to some degree. With ship AI, they barely move.

EA may have hardcoded them to not move the boats around too much so using a different vehicle AI type may be better. I guess they thought it would be annoying to human players if for example the bots kept moving the aircraft carriers around or something.
