AI escorts should be somehow tied down to the bombers/reconnaissance aircraft they're supposed to protect. As it is now, they all leave their charges high and dry to engage whatever passes by. It would be great to see them chase off any threat and resume their position. Or perhaps one flight could engage and the other remain with the bombers/reconnaissance aircraft. That's how it worked in real life.
Also, some AI fighters - notoriously I-16s - fire unrealistically long bursts, especially when engaging bombers. They actually hose them with bullets! In real life they would have ruined the rifling of their gun barrels.
