AI has a simple tree/branch decision scheme, sometimes leading to rather stupid moves.
In that regards, letting AI "cheat" in another regime to compensate this lack of experience might be a valid decision to some degree.

Experience is not needed to have an option to disengage - besides the obvious out of ammo/fuel low option. A script can decide if numerical superiority has gone, a script can decide if positional advantage has gone, and a script can track losses, a script can count friendly planes in sight and so on.
Experience is neither needed to obey your commander. Which current AI does not and most times not at all. I have the experience, and if I tell them we do the mission my way they should not question it -if all goes south, I will have to face the music, not them.

Experience is not needed to shoot semi-accurately at nearly non moving targets, at least if you have been through flight school (possibly with the exception where pilots were needed fast and anyone half capable of making a landing stick was allowed to fly(e. g. Germany end 44).

And you don't need experience to set a limit for maximum contacts to be able to track. Script can do that. Trow in some parameters, as distance to enemy, current LoS, movement across or away/towards, time in LoS, etc and it will be better than all-seeing, and if done decent maybe will let us forget for a few moments we are battling ones and zeroes.
