AI in servers is an absolute need, given the few online players. And you could never hope to find a formation of 12 human Heinkels nowadays (neither in Il2 1946 to be fair, apart from virtual wars), so it ain't BoB really without blessed AI's...

Back to the OP:

- Sometimes, when you engage an AI fighter it oscillates very quickly his wings as if he couldn't decide where to turn. Humans don't do that.
- If a fighter detects you in difficult visibility conditions (e.g. against ground), it's most probably an AI.
- A fast series of tonneaux declares itself as an AI fighter (although I've seen this only in offline as of today).
- Formations of bombers (from 2 bombers upwards) are 100% AI. Even if a human bomber tries to join it (but very few humans fly a bomber presently), normally he cannot keep pace.

With experience you will easily tell an AI from a human, most of times at least ...

Cheers,

I think the possibility ot have AIs spawning is a great new feature compard to the original IL2.

Regarding AI fighters, my experience on the REKA server (islands) Bf109 AIs is that they are fantastic and very hard to hit, do all tricks of the trade and as soon as they gained separation distance, run away like hell. Very good performance!

Half of the time syndicate has AI..the other half it does not! We played last night in the dark with about 10 guys and no AI for 4 hours.

Like the guy above said..once you play for a week you will easily be able to tell the AI from a human. You won't see him long before he shoots ya down!
