Aircraft Tactics Chart
http://tailslide.firelightsoftware.com/atchart.asp
Here is a tool for working with Ai performance.
I don't know if it is possible to apply tactics per specifc aircraft revision type. The application of the tactics in this is chart to the AI would be a great start.
What I mean by that is... F4U and P38 are Boom and Zoomers, F6F can turn fight pretty well across the board with the Zero, Claude and Tony. Yet F6F might B & Z because the tactic is better for real combat to save lives.
The P40 had a great roll rate, and great dive speed. When the P40 pilots faced the Zero they used the B & Z from altitude and used dive speed to advantage. P40 climbed like a rock so keeping enery levels up was important for P40 pilots to stay alive.
The of course it would make a difference applying this chart to whether your player aircraft was in an offense or defense mode.
This is an old chart released long before the Pacific Fighters. There are many plane types that would need to be added for across the board tactic improvements.
Anyway, I thought the information might have some value.
------------------------------
I have noticed when I choose veteran for Player flight groups they always do well against Average enemy flight groups. That is pretty well across the board regardless of aircraft type. This isn't real bad, because in your missions the higher skill level is a determining factor, offline of course.
