Immune to G effects, yes that may well be. And should and will perhaps be corrected.
And AI can hit you at 600 to 700m, yes. But usually they use up a lot of ammo to get that hit -and if you do not fly straight and level it does not happen that often. This is no cheat IMHO, because I can do it, too -though I will usually not do that -waste of ammo.
As for AI insta killing you in every head on, that does not happen to me. Though I usually avoid head-on passes, because it gives the enemy a low deflection shot at critical areas of my plane. There are certain situations where it is almost unavoidable to go into head-on passes if you want to shoot at the enemy at all (e.g. faster, less manuverable plane with worse climb, Bf110 vs. AI Hurricane). If I open up fire before the enemy does it most of the times discourages AI to fire at you - so one short burst in the general direction, and another trying to hit.
And by now I have shot down hundreds of AI planes without beeing shot down near instantly by its wingmen.
If you engage the enemy, ALWAYS have an idea how you will get out of the fight, if you don't you may well get out of the fight at a parachute.
It is easy if you have the faster plane and an altitude advantage -you can engage and disengage at will. But do not let the AI team kill you -while one drags you down the others keep thier alt and if you fall for it you are at a disadvantage.
If you have the faster plane and less altitude, judgement call, if you think you can waste the enemys initial advantge, go for it, else turn, climb, come back
If you only have the altitude advantage, you need to make the most of it. Leave the fight before you use up your advantage. And AI is quite good at team tactics here, so you need to disengage before one of them (usually not the on in front of you) gains an advantage.
If you have neither alt advantage nor the faster plane, you are where you should not be and in trouble, and you have made mistakes to get there. You can still make some of it, if you can outturn or outroll the enemy, do so. But vs. multiple AI you are near helpless, and again the AI will work together and while you try to defend vs. one of them the other will get in a good position and you need to defend against that and so on.
But basically if YOU get shot down, then YOU made a mistake.
