WWII sniping AI

[Reflected]

Is it just me, or has it changed since a couple of updates ago? Now it seems that AI WWII planes take very long range sniping shots at you and hit. Sometimes you don't even see them properly when they kill you with a short burst (not using VR). Sorry, I don't have any videos, I just wanted to hear the opinion of those who play WWI single player a lot. Maybe I'm imagining things. :joystick:

Sounds normal IMO, especially when the skill is set to a higher level.

I usually set AI to average to avoid superhuman behavior as much as possible, but I sometimes have a "random" or two. Maybe I just got used to the averages and now faced a couple of excellents and took me by surprise.

I think part of the problem is that the AI can pull AoA's that human pilots cant. This means they can make the shots that we don't expect to get hit from, because humans can't get the deflection required.

Until the AI flight models are corrected/ limited (so that AI pilots experience G overload and their engines suffer from cooling effects etc..) then i think the AI will continue to be able to pull off some "difficult" shots....
