Could you possibly stop AI from engaging enemy aircraft with dead engine?
Last night I flew with five AI Zeros a scramble mission against a bunch of SBD's escorted by some P-40s. On the first pass I hit a P-40 and its engine froze. It was no longer a threat, so I looked for another target. A moment later I noticed that the remaining five Zeros were all busy taking pot shots at the P-40 with dead engine! Since they're no good at flying low and slow, two of them crashed. Anyway, they were supposed to defend their own base, engage the bombers, and not to waste ammunition on a plane which was about to ditch. In such situations they're useless (I was the lowest rank, so I couldn't give them any orders). Of course I got no credit for that P-40 because some AI vulture managed to put a bullet or two into it just before it crashed.
