First off, I'd agree that the AI needs this fixed and improvement in general, but it's not as bad as you make it out to be. Well, the bomber barrel rolls are...odd...but I'm also sure it's fairly high up in the priority list.
Secondly, it's simply not currently feasible to give AI the same FM as the player. You think the game is resource hungry now, just add in one or even two AI planes with it and you'll quickly see the point of necessity for the canned AI routines.
With that said, there is a lot more complexity under the hood of CoD's AI than IL2, especially in terms of relative skill levels, situational awareness and decision making. Stuff you don't see that isn't so blatantly obvious as the behavioural bug with the manic barrel rolls.
I doubt it will be all that long before it is addressed.
