Well I've just downloaded and insttalled it, so...
Test 1
Pacific Island map, A6M2 vs A6M2 (AI). We approached same height, head on, default pilot skill. To be honest, I didn't see a lot of difference. On reflection, the AI might have been making smoother choices - I didn't see the erratic manoevers I'm used to, so this is a tentative pass
Test 2
Moscow map, Bf109G2 vs P40E M-105 (AI). It was my own fault, I hadn't checked the map. I blundered into enemy AA and attempted to leave the area before engaging the P40. The firing stopped so I turned about and huh? What the...! It felt like the P40 was really going for it. He got a good burst at me and sprayed the cockpit when he came up underneath. Eventually I got in behind and blew his tailplane off - he crashed when he tried to jink out of my sights. Then the AA started up again. Is that deliberate? Does the AA stop in the presence of friendly aeroplanes? If so, thats brilliant.
