Crazy AI?

and has anyone been able to actually sneak up on any enemy planes. they always notice me just outta range and begin their evasive maneuvers just as I fire even when Im not using tracers. I thought the AI was suppose to be revamped?

The roll rate is definitely wrong. I followed a 109 in a steep dive at nearly 600 km/h and the bugger pulled three snap rolls to the right and instantly two more to the left, whilst my poor plane was trying not to break apart.
I felt insulted at this display of 'superiority' from the AI.

Speaking of sneaking up on enemy planes, I do it all the time. This is feel is fair enough since it is almost impossible to notice a plane coming up from behind and below. This is realistic.
The problem for me is that often when getting shot at and hit, the AI often does not respond at all, especially once it has disengaged from combat.

I've tested this on all AI difficulty levels, and about half the time the AI fails to respond when getting shot at, when flying home.
