Default AI issues

Might be worth compiling a short list of wierd AI behavior.

1.AI in DISENGAGE mode
I've noticed after the latest patch that AI behavior is a bit better than before when they are disengaging a fight - If I sneak up on a flight of 3 and start smoking one of them, previously they would have continued to head towards their airbase without consideration and without evasion. However, now I'm noticing that they actually respond (albeit way slower than they should), bank away and at least pretend to evade.

The problem however is that it seems that they bank away, and then come right back into formation (unless you keep pumping bullets into them). I've even had smoking spits zoom past me and straight into my gunsights. Wierd.

2. Waggle mode - Don't know what to call this but AI gets into this wierd wing waggle behavior where they rock from side to side. Don't get me wrong, with my terrible shooting abilities, this actually is quite effective in frustrating me but it doesn't seem like a standard evasion tactic
