I'm thinking this may not be about the AI at all, but about managing aircraft is some way.
The P39 flying against the 109x and 190x after 1943 was very competent. The reason was the tactical way the P39s flew and fought. Pokriskinin was a masterful in developing tactics to defeat German fighters using the P39. THe allies hated the P39 for the most part and never really go a handle on fighting as effectively as the Soviets.
Then again the F4F in the Pacific was a loser against the A6M2 until the US started using the Thatch weave tactics and the aircraft became a star during the battle of Midway and thereafter.
The Japanese had tactics they used as well.
There were many successes in air combat by aircraft that were insuperior in most respects. The way the aircraft were flown with team tactics, etc. made the difference.
I don't know if tactical elements can be included. I would suspect they would have to have some type of on-the-fly commands that could be given during combat.
Anyway, thanks for a great mod. I love it.
