It's been more than 6 months since I've logged in to DCS, but I kept reading on the forums about the improved enemy AI. So, I wanted to test it out in a guns-only fight against an identical opponent. In this case, I set up an ace-level AI-controlled F-18 to be my opponent. We both start empty with 50% fuel and co-altitude at 6500ft. The short story is ... I'm not impressed at all by the "new and improved AI" - at least not in BFM. I'll try BVR next - hopefully that's improved.
