We got a couple of 609 people on your server last night Flashman, to check out the mission you mentioned in chat the afternoon.
Quite contrary to Reider, we didn't experience any problems as far as lag (net or performance) on the AI planes goes. That was after the hotfix though.
One thing worth considering though (if it can be done), is to set the escort on a higher aggression level. Multiple times they would just continue their weaving with the formation of Stukas already under attack for minutes.
On two occasions, I had a Schwarm of 110s going right over the top of me while I was happily lighting up their Stukas.
The other issue experienced was the radar operators calling out those ghost contacts, that you occasionally see flying in the distance and when you get close, they disappear.
Those are however minor immersion issues, nothing big. The most important thing is that it seemed to run silk-smooth, even with a large number of AI aircraft and 3/4 people connecting to the server from Europe with comparably high pings.
