It seems that the developers have largely ignored the AI problem. I started the "AI Is At The Top Of My List" thread months ago and a lot of people here added their desire for better AI. I know Luthier and company are aware of the issue but it's not a priority for them and really should be. Honestly, I don't get it. A poll once showed the vast majority of users are SP not MP. Quality AI is essential in simulating combat in SP. No matter how gloriously the cockpits, scenery, damage, etc are modeled...if the plane I’m trying to shoot down is jerking, flopping, rolling, darting and generally behaving like a drunk, mindless robot, I'm out of the game in three minutes. I've stated before that CLOD is great for flying around and doing some sightseeing but when I want some semi-realistic dogfighting I go to ROF. I really wish the developers would spend the time testing and playing the game, flying the QM's and seeing that the AI is rubbish and FIX THE AI!
