I can only believe that the developers did not understand or believe the problem/complaints about the AI.

Very probably Buddye. The language and maybe other factors could be the cause, but I reckon that this forum is not a source of information for them. Luthier's comments a few days ago confirms that he is totally unaware.

Maybe you want to check the IL2 Bugtracker and, if you find it good; you could apport a wealth of valuable information directly to where they read/search. I cannot think of anyone better entitled than you for reporting AI issues, and I for one would be glad to have you collaborating there, and I am sure that many others share my opinion.

Ive not extensively tested this but thats my experience.

Theres a nice little description if you hold the cursor of each one. Vision is how much they notice which is effected by awareness, and as long as they are not on radio silence, they will report enemy aircraft via the HUD/radar/radio man voice.

For example I find the AI bombers best when you set these sliders in a C shape.

Thanks!...to be honest I always just set them to average, I will definitely try this.

Yes, that post is from Heinkill, I know him from his offline missions where he does actually create missions with great dogfights. Www.Bobgamehub.blogspot.com for those. But he also says on his blog 'The 1C devs will never admit their basic dogfighting AI is flawed. Because they don't believe it is. They can set it up in fmb to do a pretty good job, so players should also be able to. But their benchmark is their own flawed AI from IL2, which Oleg used to claim was the 'best of any flight sim'. Don't expect 1C to fix this, as they do not accept it is broken.'
