So I've been fighting the AI in the 190D vs. various airplanes in the list. Really, AI is no pushover when flying a better-turning fighter, better gunnery practice than shooting drones anyway. Various interesting findings...for instance, an AI-flown Tempest is alot easier to defeat than an AI-flown LA7...but I digress.
Interestingly, the HurricaneIIc seems to be the AI's best plane. The AIs good qualities, it doesn't get nervous in defense, it won't try to climb after you till it runs out of E, it just keeps up maneuvering speed and tries to turn and face you as you close, are quite formidable in the Hurri. Seems like most of the time in this fight, no matter what I do, the AI can always swap ends and get his nose more or less pointed at me before I come into firing range. One must break off firing to avoid at this point (Against a human MA player in a HurriIIC, pressing the attack would result in M.A.D.). Thus most of the time it is turning into a stalemate.
So what is the best way for one to shoot down flying of this "style" if one is flying the Dora in this match, without resorting to possibly suicidal front-quarter/HO shots?
