I am same. Have only flied WT online but always get killed by players in better planes than my old Hurricane.

Against AI, the AI are sniper shots and the maps are so small there is AI everywhere.

I am OK with the ClOD AI in user-made like Heinkill Redux or desastersoft missions, it is adjusted usually to stop the stupid barrel rolls, but it is still too easy to beat the AI unless one gets behind you while you are distracted.

Even then they cannot deflect shoot, most of their shots goes over the enemy and they hose away like ammo is water.
