Default Your expierience with AI plz

I would like to know about your expioerience about Dogfights with AI.
I got the impression i am just too stupid or i am doin sth wrong.
I know the differences between the FM as we had in Il2 arent valid anymore.

But the Hurricane is flying circles above me and is always faster than me ..in my Bf109E3.

So what are your thoughts about that?
I am not interested in any FM discussions, just wanna know how u expienced the AI atm.

I scared a Stuka pilot to break hard. He stalled and crashed

Well, I can't get into good 1vs1 dogfights, the ai always flees from me and flies pretty straightforward. And the bomber' gunners can't hit pretty much anything smaller than a pregnant whale...

All the AI seem to be able to outfly any human, and get better performance out of their aircraft.

When flying a 109, I am outclimbed by a Spit II or even Spit I or Hurricane.

When flying a Spit I or Hurricane, the 109's leave me in the dust, when flying a Spit II, the 109 still climbs away easily.

This is no matter whether or not my aircraft are trimmed properly and engine running correctly.

That is pretty much the same i expierienced.
Nice to hear that i am not alone being a l"ooser".Thx.

Well atm there are for sure much more important issues to solve.
I was flying the past 20 mins behind a bomber party of Blenheims with my Bf109...and i was barely able to overhaul them.I mean i made it, but it took a long time.

I am having serious trouble with the blenheims, not only are they almost impossible to catch up to, the gunners in them are deadly accurate and can shoot me down in a matter of seconds.
They are extremely hard to shoot down, i have wasted an entire magazine with cannon rounds on one and it just kept going. I managed to shoot one down by filling his cockpit with hot lead, but i almost got killed in the process.

With an bunch of blenheims, defeating the third reich would be a piece of cake

S!

Not much of an improvement over IL-2, for example I can fly below a Heinkel or Dornier within 10m and he misses me?! Attacking bombers is far from the IL-2 "sniper gunners" smearing you from extreme ranges. AI has patterns as in IL-2, easy to figure out and still they get magical performance out of their planes. And fighters can't hit a squat, same as in IL-2, keep small turn an watch them shoot thin air

Pretty much! Not to mention the stupid annoying barrel rolls we all know from Il2. I got so fed up with it that I went back to RoF...

Well I find the Blenheims most annoying as they can just totally out manouver a Bf109 as if it where a big lumbering bomber, normally I will not say anything about aircraft performance, but this baby needs some checking. At the moment I refuse to use any Blenheims due to this issue, Wellingtons, Walruses and Sunderlands are more enjoyable.
