Two things to add, one a comment and other a behavioral oddity.
First, I've noticed the AI crashing during some dogfights that others have mentioned, it's only been average or below and when they're pulling very hard at very low altitudes. While I'd agree that *some* of this should be "buggy" behavior, I disagree that it should be taken out completely. Historically un/less-well trained pilots often did crash their aircraft while trying to perform acrobatics. I wouldn't expect a veteran or ace to have an accelerated stall, but a rookie definitely could.
Second, I apologize if this has already been reported. I've noticed the AI will sometimes perform some rather odd, extreme maneuvers at low altitude in a turning fight. The main thing I see is them maneuvering wildly while upside down for a good 2 or so seconds while 100 ft or so above the ground. If I had to make a guess, it looks like they're trying to roll inverted to dive and separate, but they can't because the planet earth is in the road.
