Enemy AI is...retarded
Besides the ridiculous roll rate I've seen some aircraft pulling, especially the 110's (a big twin engine can outroll a hurricane?), what are they thinking?
They constantly make erratic manuevers and always lose altitude when trying to evade. Every fight ends up on the deck because these idiots would rather barrel roll into the ocean than even try to knife fight. Then when you get to the deck they climb just enough to erattically fly left and right and roll over down to the deck again.
Can anyone hit anything besides bombers in this sim?? The constant flip flopping of the AI makes it damn near impossible to hit them, I just spent god knows how may minutes on the tail of one bf-110 and ran out of ammo without a kill. 8%, thats how many rounds landed out of 2400... I'm better than that, 1946 proved it. Maybe the guys in charge of AI in this completely forgot the lessons learned from the original games? Perhaps watching some gun camera footage from the era would give them a better idea of how an enemy evades an attacker in the air.
On another note, I never get shot down and rarely even shot at since the AI is so concerned about flopping about the sky they never actually try to engage with any kind of skill. Yuck... If 1946 didnt look like a cartoon after seeing this I woudnt hesitate to go back at this point.
