I flew a quick mission in a 109 with an AI wingman against two spits and two B25's. During the mission I ordered my wingie to cover me and went after the two spits. While I was chasing the first one my wing man, chased off the second one from my tail and shot him down, then proceded to support me in my dogfight with the first one without getting in my way, shoulder shooting or otherwise being stupid.
After taking down the spit, and turning towards where I thought the B25's went, I heard a sound not unlike a sound I sometimes hear when flying with human wingmen. It was the sound of my AI wingman sidling up to his slot in the formation. This without me giving a rejoin order or any other kind of fuss.
A few moments later, we caught up with the B25's, so I ordered my wingie to "attack bombers" just out of curiosity. Wonder of wonders he attacked the bombers! His attack was nothing to write home about, but it was a thing of beauty to me. After getting hit he broke off and commenced to kind of mill about as if to say "OK, it's your turn"
This was one of the best offline experiences I've had in a long time, and I look forward to quick missions being more than just gunnery practice, and maybe even doing some campaigns.
This AI mod is the best thing since sliced bread.
