Most air battles that start high, (Between 7 and 12 thousand feet)
the AI have a tendency to end up taking you down to the deck......
then when you are trying to outmanuever them and not become a lawn dart,
if you are over an enemy base or town or event that has ground guns,
they start wacking you real good when you are about to shoot down an enemy
plane.
I try to stay high, but if I end up behind one, he starts heading down.
If I have any other squadmates with me, they always head down with them
and just leave me up high.......so if I want to get anything, I have to go
down with them......most of my squadmates get taken out by groundfire.
Also, many AI enemy planes land after I have damaged them, but remain targets.
(They should just be counted as a kill! LOL!)
