AI hitting the brakes

[Reflected]

When I dogfight against the AI in any plane, 80% of the times he uses the following trick: a split S and in the meantime he slows down as if he had a drag chute or something. Every. single. time.

 

Then, when it's not an average AI, he makes matters worse by accelerating the same UFO way once I managed to slow down.

 

I know AI is not a priority, but right now it's not only bad, but CHEATING. could it please get a little attention?

 

Thanks!!

Bump. The more I fly offline the more it's bugging me. The ONLY trick the AI has against me (all of them...109s, MIG-15s, etc...) is to instantly lose 100+ MPH speed. Even if we were co-speed, and I throttle back and extend the air brakes immediately I still fly by him so fast I can't do anything. Then, as I barrel roll to lose my speed and get behind, he accelerates vertically from impossible situations. As if lighting 3 rocket boosters. Of course, the rules of physics apply to me and there is no way I can keep up.

 

I still find it hard to believe that such a detailed sim has AI that solely relies on cheating....
