Suggestions for AI Improvements in Future Updates

I agree that Rookie fighter pilots are still too good in the game, especially in I-16s, while Aces now often do things in certain aircraft that they definitely shouldn't be doing. For example, play any early Barbarossa scenario with AI Ace pilots flying Bf109F-2s and AI Rookies flying I-16-18s and 24s, and watch as the Aces constantly get themselves into trouble by trying to turn fight with the I-16s - and even I-153s - and get shot up in the process.

Indeed, you see this in any theater aircraft; Veteran and Ace AI pilots in BnZ type aircraft are constantly trying to turn-fight against dedicated turn-fighters, and get stomped as a result, even when their foe is Rookie or Novice. This happens far too often to be attributed to the "occasional chance of a less skilled pilot beating a more skillful one" explanation.

With all the great improvements done to the AI recently, this is the one area where things got messed up in the process.
