I created a QM just to check the differences with the AI MOD: I took the new Spit XIVc (8 of each - a squadron in veteran another in regular) against 4 Bf 109K-4 in veteran mode, 4 Bf 109G-14/AS in regular. Indeed I realized that the enemy was much more unpredictable, and as a logical consequence I was shot down by a Bf 109. I was impressed by the fact that almost all the times they were using just their MG 131s.
It's only one thing that I found that I consider it a bug - when the Bf 109s tried to disengage, they created a V formation heading back.One lonely Spit attacked the G-14/AS formation (only one K-4 shot down and 2 XIVs) and while the attacked plane broke off (not in the usual roll manner but doing a wide right turn in the same level trying to built up speed, that was impressive) the other 3 planes of the formation DIDN'T react and instead REMAINED in the formation.As I understood, AI pilots go into defensive actions only when they are being attacked THEMSELVES, not their wingman or their formation (when they are in a formation).
