In case you haven't noticed yet, one of the undocumented features is plane icons with arcade=1 option. One of the plane icon types will render the normal info plus planes throttle %, G-load, task and maneuver.
This was added to bust some myths like "AI always uses full throttle" or "AI can pull unrealistic Gs". Also many people seems to think that AI wingman doesn't defend the player like they did before. Task & maneuver info should make it clear that they do. They just don't hang always behind the player waiting for someone to come near. Instead the wingman will target enemy planes that are a threat to the player.
Hopefully it will also help to debug the AI behaviour in strange situations.
