A BF-109 can single-handedly destroy all four Bofors guns at an airfield. No other enemy a/c in vicinity so he's the only target for the AI gunners, yet they're so inept he's undetered (and suicidal because he knows he can just go spawn another a/c). I took the last surviving Bofors and got hits on him as he attacked my gun, he then chandelled (smoking, sputtering motor and all) and attacked again. Another 40mm strike as he kamikazed into my gun, destroying it with MG (and cannon?) fire just before collision. The whole episode was not only a demonstration of crappy AI gunnery, but really lame behavior, in my opinion, on behalf of a pilot who doesn't value their virtual life and is therefore able to skew the mission. Once the AA guns are taken out by kamikazis, the target is virtually defenseless. New a/c and pilot-lives are unlimited, so have no (or little) value to some pilots, AA guns are irreplacable and have high value. I'm just venting, not sure there's a workable solution, but it sure is frustrating.
