Dogfighting -does 4.11-4.12 patch address this?

Interesting observation. What would these aerodynamic boosts to AI be?
I know theres probably no g-lock for AI first of all. Second of all, is the AI performed barrell-roll defense, during which not only is the defender rolling insanely fast, but he is also outrunning a faster attacker! This looks quite baffling when its done by the AI. I mean, it is done with a shallow diving barrel-roll, but equally importantly constant rolling
ought to slow their speed down quite a bit, right?

In 4.11 and 4.12 the AI have more varied defensive techniques and don't do the endless barrel roll defense which is simultaneously annoying and somewhat predictable.

Usually the roll is combined with a shallow dive allowing the defensive move to go on for quite a long time. It works online against human opponents too

The AI didn't become predictable. Players just got good enough to begin predicting the AI. If the AI ever "think ahead" beyond the one move they are doing it will be a major step worthy of a whole new game.
