In a classic dogfight, spotting your enemy before he sees you is an enormous advantage. Loosing the sight while in pursuit often equates to loosing the fight (thus going to sun or clouds for cover). If AI was strapped into simulator's digital feed for exact positioning (basically as if manning a game's AI craft), then it had "God's eyes". This kind of superadvantage may be warranted in a game to compensate for usually otherwise inferior in-game AI abilities. However, when plugging a whole computer rack for AI, this sight-advantage would definitely create a biased environment (for the purposes of meaningful comparison). I wonder how would the AI fare if it relied on CV for its positioning?
