Juking AI

The impression was very strange, you would never get the impression that a real person was at the controls but more like a RC plane with a newbie at the controls. Takes you right out of the moment. Anyone else seeing this?

As an offline player I've given up on Clod for the time being because of the above crazy AI behaviour. It's a huge immersion killer for me, even more so than the 'clunky' graphics engine (to be fixed hopefully) and the numerous other problems. If I remember correctly the AI hasn't always been this bad and I think I'm right in saying that one of the fairly early patches 'borked' it good and proper and it has yet to be fixed.

I've installed IL2 1946 with the HSFX 5.01 mod and am really enjoying it until Clod becomes the sim it should be however far down the line. Here's hoping that the devs give some priority to fixing the dreadful AI for us offline players. Unfortunately, if they don't I'll be spending my flght sim time elsewhere.
