There are still some relatively minor quirks and errors in the AI behavioral routines that are thankfully far-between, but the recent AI overhaul has revitalized the game, offline and online. It changed the way I play the game. Often times I find myself now thinking and behaving as though my backside is really inside that aircraft (as opposed to feeling totally invincible and fearless, and being other-worldly aggressive in an artificially predictable environment). I've seen the AI do totally human things, like stall and/or crash in a panic, and I've seen some AI fighter flights actually turn around and run away from a fight.
