Hosted a few co-ops tonight with .14 AI mod ... results in general seemed a step backwards, at least as far as fighter combat was concerned. I need to check the AI level, but they all seemed to fly like rookies. Often my squad mates would saddle up on an enemy AI intent on attacking bombers (which they seemed to do quite well) and totally disregard the human pilot 100m off the attacker's six. The AI seemed to have lost their ability to check their own six. In a way I suppose this is okay (AI target fixation?), but it resulted in what seemed to be some rather boring combat scenes.
On the other hand, as host I seemed to attract the AI like magnet. That perception (whether real or imagined) has been part of the IL-2 series since day one.
