yes, would that happen in reality, I think not. 4 109s in finger 4 would see you long ago and would have lined you up with at least 2 aircraft firing head on. maybe you were hoping for a collision ?
I know it's easy to take advantage of the AI, i do it too often too
AI needs some work, especially the deffy. I've noticed the Deffy gunner looking at one aircraft while firing at another! .. tsk tsk! What's really needed is the ability of users to setup their own overriding AI.
