An interesting discussion.
I was still using CFS2 in those days so I never experienced the old flight model.
In general I like the AI being given some advantages as it makes dogfighting more interesting. When AI advantages such as overly accurate gunners force you to use proper tactics, I am OK with it.
But when you are penalized for using proper tactics like diving or climbing out of trouble in a plane that was historically superior in these areas, only to find that an inferior plane is gaining on you. I don't like it.
