Oleg, will the profile of every AI be something like this?:

-Experience
-Tactics
-Methods

And what about deflection shooting from AI pilots?
This is something that AI does not do in IL2 series. If you turn away
AI will stop firing. Really hope AI does this in BOB.

Will AI pilots avoid AA guns?
This is also something that AI does not do in IL2 series.
Currently flies over enemy airfield as if it's all is OKAY down there.

Will AI have same limits as human flown aircraft?
In IL2 series AI outruns human flown aircraft.
This is def. a show stopper for off-liner as I am.

Will AI detect enemy already when they are still little spots?
Like it is now in IL2 series, hope not.

Will AI pick their battles?
Will it head for home when plane has slight damage in case of
overwhelming enemy situation?

I too am curious about how the "AI" will be implemented in "BoB SoW".

You have a few interesting questions but I'm not sure I understand your statement about the "damaged fighters running for home". Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I have seen damaged "AI" fighters in "IL2 1946" running for home trailing smoke...do you like this?

I have posted some questions about the new "human damage model"(its in the Maddox's Room thread). I'm curious about how complex the new damage systems will be in "BoB SoW"... One thing I'm hoping for is that the same "DM" that will be use for the "AI" pilots in "BoB" will be used to limit/effect the "players" input.

I know that Oleg has said that the "line of sight" targeting issues have been addressed. ...now they (AI) will have the proper "blind spots" (like clouds and under/behind the aeroplane). I "think" he said that AA gunners will be governed by the same rules...

I understand your dissatisfaction with the "AI" pilots apparent lack of concern at being bombarded by the AA over enemy airfields but this is not without some historical foundation. ...bombers would have to fly strait and level (through the worst of flak and AA) when they where on their bomb run...
