+1! When the AI got improved recently, I really hoped that I would finally be able to surprise it with slashing attacks or by coming from below and behind. No such thing. With the 'extra pair of eyes in the butt', the AI always know you're there and gets out of the harm's way just in time. In this way the game favours highly manouverable planes like I-16, at the expense of heavier fighters, like Bf 110.
