There are some changes in AI behaviour you may not be aware of. The AI will not fly into danger or will prioritise Anti-air targets, even if you tell him to attack your target or ground targets. He will no longer fly dumbly to a target, he will avoid Anti air threats as a priority.
If he can't safely engage a target he will say he's unable. Suicidal Wingman was the biggest criticism, of the BS1 AI. The AI is far more cautious now.
That said, that doesn't preclude new issues, this is why we are asking for short tracks showing incorrect behaviour. Help us Help you.
