Outperformed by AI every single time
 

No matter what i do i am always slower even if i close the radiators and put everything to the max i cannot catch G50 in level flight while the G50 is doing barrel rolls at speed that would put 190 in shame. Its more close to extra 300 really.
I end up with destroyed engine and he just flies away.
I end up raging and trying G50 to get revenge on that stupidly slow Hurricane. But what happens? I blow up my engine with Hurri doing exactly what I could not do in last flight.
The AI pilot are bunch of cheating trolls and no fix in sight.
If only there were refunds on steam.
RAAAAAAAAAGE

Dont play against the quick mission AIs - Ais do not follow the same FM as the player.

In the quick missions, their AI skill slider sometimes are set too high for the player to catch up.

It's the man.. not the machine

lets hope that once devs are finished with the graphical revamp some attention can be given too this issue.

Why do you always have to try to counter what everyone else has to say?

To the OP go and post it in the bug tracker. I was hoping to play the game after the next steam update after I sorted my FPS, but this sounds incredibly bad considering they have employed a guy to fix the AI.

Sure whatever then explain me how it is possible that when i toggle auto pilot it will achieve 70 (dunno what are the units) manifold pressure with 100 % rich mixture 100% prop rpm without engine going kaboom within 60 seconds if I try to do that >> engine dead always

In short, the AI cheat.

They do in original IL2 and they do in CloD.

It was ever thus, and 'ere shall be.

Pity they can't sort that out. It's a real immersion killer for the offline flyer.

Dont fly Hurricane until it would be fixed. Its maximum speed is way too slow even for 87 octan version. It is now even slowier then G50.

So until FM patch stay away from Hurricane MK1 and Spitfire MK1. Only sensible fighter in british side actually Spitfire Mark II.

So the question that needs answering is why do they want it this way? Is it something that cannot be fixed, or something they want to keep in the game?
