Yes you are right I'm a idiot for forgetting to say the original game. I know that the different patch versions and finally the finished game, the AI can suck at times. Given enough time the team seemed to offer us a good AI, but under pressure lack of time, well you see the out come.
One glaring difference between the two games that I just noticed. I had to set down my P-51 in a field because of damage. I brought her to a area with a few tree's and shut her down and waited. To my surprise the Dora broke off pursuit and I was no longer a target. In Clod the AI would have made a staffing pass or 2 to finish me off...I'm not sure which I like better, I guess historically either one is correct. :D
