Exclamation AI let down

Funny thing is , I think it was mentioned the distance AI gunner shot and the AI rolling away is tied to YOUR gun conv. distance , didnt test that though.

This is so far the offline killer , flying campaigns , getting on 6 of the plane out of sight and "woosh" evasive maneuvers , even if hes flying solo.

Somwhere along the Forgotten Battles Ace expansion or Pacific Fighters release it got more prominent with every patch, when flying online you actually think the other people are blind because you expect them to immediately break away after playing a long time offline....

For me tha AI is broken , because that they break away 100% of the time , and also in the same fashion, seem to have the perfect engine management since some patch and pace away after start, all that was better and was patched to "perfection".

Playing old il2 1.0, you see they make huge loads of funny errors , and sometimes no evausive maneuvers at all, but it feels more like a human in panic flying the other plane than a robot striving for perfection.
