Will development of good AI routines be beneficial for developing an UAV?

Me too.

I think IL-2 must have had some of the better AI behaviour in a flightsim, but I haven't spent much time on other flightsims, though. Just som AEW and MSCFS..

Maybe, but they are really poor at turn fights. In a turn fight, the guy behind drives, the guy in front keeps turning until the guy behind gives up. The Il*2 AI don't do that, if they are in front they change turn direction straight across the following planes fire. The guy in front has an option between blacking out, and dying, the guy behind has an option between blacking out and losing the chase, so the guy in front can turn harder.
