S'true there may be a few large egos around here, but the fact remains that something is wrong with the AI.

I think the issue would best be rephrased as;

"the enemy AI is... unrealistic"

...to say the least. Bombers flying like fighters, fighters not attacking/responding to being attacked, and generally planes flying on/over the knife edge when controlled by the AI - don't get me wrong, I want the enemies to be good - but there's good piloting and then there's "taking advantage of the system".

I think another word for it would be inconsistent - bad aim, bad reactions, yet superb use of CEM/FM - to the point that if it were a human pulling off those moves you'd instantly be shouting "HAX!!111!!11" at the screen.

e: oh, and yeah, Raaaid's alright. It's not like he's actually being offensive - he's just, erm... amusing if I'm honest. There's just no need for the "I won't suffer fools!" attitude. English isn't his first language and he's got some odd opinions is all. No harm done.
