Easily misunderstood if you haven't experienced the correctly set up AI in FMB. Although human players can be much more satisfying in dog fights (x 10), The AI pilots and gunners in il2:1946 can be simply incredible and realistic.
The AI will smoke you if you set up your mission correctly in FMB. My group has made over 100 and flown over 300 coop missions vs. only AI. Its a great experience. I'd love to see you in a wildcat against some AI ace zeros, or in a p40 in the desert against some AI 109s in an "end of an era" mission. You'll be going down. AI very realistic and can be almost as good as human in the right scenarios. This awesome AI was here 5 years ago!
Some simmers want to fly historical missions with 50 or more planes in formations. the only way to do that is with AI. So yes if I want to fly a historic mission, I prefer the AI in Il21946. I haven't attempted any AI missions in CloD as the ATAG human and AI server, as you say, is very satisfying. The combination of human and AI is as sweet as it gets...and it will only get better with time
