S!
Nynek, for me AI is just AI..more or less Artificial Idiocy. Just follow it a while and you see how it operates. Not a single sim/game has had a truly inpredictable AI so far. Usually means making AI inhumanely accurate, shortcuts in it's vehicle behaviour etc. Sure coding a complex AI would bring our systems to a crawl while trying to model it all among other things like DM, FM etc.
This said, in any campaign just learn the AI behaviour/quirks. Then it is just to swat them like flies and rack up more kills than any ace ever did in BoB, for example. There are certain patterns games follow and not that hard to spot if you look at it. So "surviving to fight another day" loses it's meaning. Done it so many times before and now having certain expectations regarding SoW: Being something new, the new benchmark.
Anyways, there is a wide variety of opinions and have to respect them. Also the vision of Oleg & Team with SoW. After it has finished installing we will see how it works. And I remain positive on that it will be more than worth the wait.
