Something is messed up in the AI, both pacific fighter and 1946, I have been dowling out a lot of damage to the enemy, head long and haven't been hit, I am running pretty high on the reality, in janes ww 2 fighers it was suicide to go head on, and the same in CFS 2, but not here
and in the real world never leave your wingman. Doesn't hurt to tag along and follow the wingman, if you can follow the leader, in time you can tail the enemy, didn't get too do much of that in earlier sims. Time too hit the rack, just finished a Marine Corps Corsair mission, more holes in my tail than I care for, but made a nice carrier landing.
