Had to post there as i needed to get these online, this first is of the AI cheeting, and the second is of me trying the same manouver. I was wondering why the AI can do something I cant. Do they have special Powers?

But of course it has some special powers (like the ability to know exactly where you are when you are cloaked). The devs gave it those powers to try and prevent the AI from self destructing too much. Not that it was a big success anyway...

It happens because in the other SFC's the AI is afraid of the border and would stay well away from it. People could sit at the border with it behind them and the AI would never approach, it was a cheese tactic and worked well against fighters. It also had the side effect that your wingman would never disengage but would turn away as you approached the border.

Personally this is much better having the AI able to cross the border.
