I'm not sure but I think they do... I convinced one to pull a tighter turn then me and suddenly he nosed downwards for several seconds before recovering. That was yesterday and I noted it as really interesting behaviour. But I think an AI programmer from TD would need to confirm.

I think the most common thing that happens both against the AI and against other humans is we get placed in a situation where we think we're pulling the same turn but, in an effort to lead the target, we're actually pulling a tighter turn and more G forces. In a high speed dive a few fractions tighter than your opponent and you could be in full blackout while he could be starting to blackout but still in control. It's just a matter of physics at that point
