AI roll rate: why can't I make my plane move like that?

This explanation makes sense. I guess its fairly complex to program the AI to fly more like a human would and still be competitive.

I know that Luthier had posted somewhere that the AI system is getting an overhaul, which will be nice.

In the mean time, I am still enjoying the game quite a bit despite my criticism. My modest rig can handle it and I am still honing my flying skills, my marksmanship, engine management etc, all offline. And chasing those barrel rolling, fast twitching hypermaneuvering AI 109s and 110s as they perform their strange little jigs.
