Oh I can do criticism, chum. Just where it's warranted.

Yeah, that's right. I congratulate those who put a massive amount of effort and their free-time into adding new content - FOR FREE, YOU PAY NOTHING -to an old game that would otherwise have died years ago. And yes, funnily enough I believe in carrot based motivation and the expression of appreciation. it's called being a) a grown up and b) polite.

What a steaming pile of horse manure. TDs additions have not only breathed new facets into the game with additional aeroplanes and functionality to improve realism but actively improved user interface with the game from widescreen and TrackIR support. This game has never been so fresh. Sure she's showing her age against contemporaries graphically in some regards but the AI beats any recently released sim, hands down.
In fact the only stale thing round here is your frankly odorous (and onerous) attitude. It stinks.

Ha! Could have fooled me. I suggest you reappraise your comprehension of the word respect. Your attitude shows nothing but contempt for most of the people here, particularly those who dare to slog over and release such 'stale' content.
What really astounds me is that somehow you think this tack, this line of belligerent abusiveness is actually going to accomplish anything? How would you feel if someone came along bad-mouthing something you'd spent months working on for no pay and that you had proffered to them for no financial reward? I suspect you'd tell them were to shove it. Why on earth do you expect any different in return?

Are there areas that could do with improvement with the AI? Sure. A few little niggles: I don't think fighter bombers dive bombing routine is particularly accurate for Allied tactics. Sometimes the G affect on AI seems less pronounced than perhaps it should. I still occasionally see transports or bombers doing barrel rolls in formation. These could all do with work.
Difference is I know that there are certain difficulties, some of them insurmountable in the process of fixing them:
Problem 1 - THERE ARE CONSTRAINTS; the engine is limited to what it can physically process in terms of AI computations, it also 13 years old now and there are limits to what you can ask of it
Problem 2 - AI is only ever a poor analogy to true intelligence even at the highest orders of computing; what the hell do you expect from a 13 year old game engine? Getting it to make mistakes is probably harder to do than to get it to shoot straight!
Problem 3 - to my knowledge there is only one TD member dedicated to working with the AI; he has a family and a day job to contend with. So given that he does any and all work in his free-time you cannot expect immediate resolutions to even obvious faults.
When you combine all 3, you might start to grasp why it that the majority of us here appreciate the hard work he does and are understanding and patient when (or if) issues do arise.
The simple fact is that you suck. You don't like that you suck and you don't have the courage to acknowledge it. Until you do, you won't appraise your flying skills with any sense of objectivity and won't recognise your mistakes; and recognising where you suck is the first step of correcting that behaviour and working out how to improve.
Either that or you bin this game game and go fly War Thunder. I for one won't miss you, and given your attitude to most of the other members, I doubt anyone else will be crying at your departure either.
