I just shot two Ace p-51d Mustangs down with a 1944 Bf109 using the latest official patch of the sim. I also shot down two Ace 1944 Corsairs with a biplane.
All good fun.
I would hope that if Ace AI were in an aircraft that were faster than mine then the "ace" would use that feature of their aircraft to beat my ass to a pulp. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. IL2 tries to give the AI Aces different tactics depending on what aircraft are involved but they don't always make the right choices.
My practice scenario I have been playing with lately is strapping myself into a 1944 109 vs. an Ace Tempest, Ace La-7, Ace 25lb Spit, Ace F4uC, and a team of Ace P51-Ds over flat terrain, no obstacles to use or hide behind. I often shoot all six of them down, so I guess they are not running away from me too badly.
The only fault I notice is many times AI still can not handle elevation changes and crash into the ground.
