Just ran a bunch of missions
The Wingman is definitely better, but still passes on some very easy kills.
Especially, when the player has made a pass and didn't get the kill. The AI wingman is often positioned perfectly to take the kill, which would take him off track following the player (not much off).
To bad there is no command for player to tell wingman to take the kill, when player is out of position.
-----------------------
The AI is a lot better, especially if you are using AI in your missions. The veteran or ace level is very competent against the enemy with an equal or better performing aircraft.
Can't wait for the next installment on this great mod.
----------------------
I'm going to run some missions now very close to the level of the water. Earlier the AI would not drop down onto lower flying AI over water. It was funny looking with about 4 to 6 AI aircraft dropping down, and swarming all around (1) little A6M2-N seaplane. They flew around like a bunch of bees, but the AI seaplane just skimmed the water and finally got away.
Trying to repeat this.. is difficult, because if the AI is stupid enough to try to climb out or away the enemy AI would nail him everytime. If he stayed low on the water he was untouchable.
