I HAVE gone back to 1946 and plan to stay there until they have fixed the terrible AI in this game. I am experiencing everything you are going through and I find it a total game-breaker.
When the AI isn't pulling impossible mindless stunts (all while not losing airspeed, mind you), climbing at insane rates without burning out their engines, or pulling out of impossibly bad spins, they are completely benign. I rarely get shot at, and sometimes when I do the AI just decides to stop attacking. Even more hilarious, many times the AI acts like I'm not even there, and I'll pump a billion rounds into a plane that flies perfectly straight.
It's like they're either pulling F-16 maneuvers (literally) or completely oblivious to your existence. It's the most boring and infuriating experience I've had in a game with AI ... no joke. Prettiness or not, I'd much rather fly in IL2 1946 where I get a rewarding experience.
