JUst a minor correction here. Burdokva suggests that AI aircraft have '(nearly) unlimited ammo'. Though it seems that way when they are chasing you, I'm fairly sure they actually have the same limits as player-controlled aircraft. I did a test some time back (I can't remember which aircraft), and they seemed to have exactly the same loadout. In some situations, you can get an AI aircraft to waste its entire ammo in a futile attempt to shoot you down while off-aim. For example, if you are in a P-40 and get into a turning fight with a Bf-109, he may get on your tail, but as long as you maintain a minimum-radius turn, he will expend his ammo just beyond your outer wingtip. Unfortunately for you, this wont help if another AI spots you circling and draws a bead from a distance...
