The difference between AI and player guesswork tends to be evident, though - try rolling into a different angled turn while you're in their blindspot and the AI still seems to visibly track your movement
Personally, since TD made it clear that AI have subset skills a la CloD, I think it would be nice to see a popup window like CloD's FMB that gives the mission builder an option to nudge around their strengths and weaknesses, as per major.kudo's example. Having a good maneuver fight is fun, but sometimes the single .303 to the head from 500m in a sharp turn dampens the excitement a bit. I know these things happen, but I seem to get a disproportionate amount of PK's from the AI as compared to human players (maybe because the player is generally near the "center" of the 3D model, and the AI will always use the central point of the model for targeting as opposed to any firing solution that will connect)
