But, is it feasible or even possible to address one concern I've had for years.
Can you make the AI not exceed their vne? A Oscar should not be able to hang with a 38/47/F4U in a balls out dive that runs around 500+mph IAS.
Is this doable or is it a vain hope?
This is something I've looked at, but haven't really delved into yet. What happens right now is that if TAS is greater than about 80% VNE, they cut their throttle back. The problem is, in a dive, chopping the throttle doesn't mean that you won't exceed VNE. I've considered making them use some rudder and/or levelling off if the aircraft is at, or close to VNE, but I have no idea what effect this would have on the AI's ability to dogfight. Only one way to find out, I suppose.
