Personally, I am a big fan of the A-4 Skyhawks and Bf-110s

A20 havocs on SB EC around 5.0 BR days on Port Moresby.
Those things are DEADLY DISCO LASERS that are surprisingly difficult to engage and approach. They’re immune to attack from the top even if you’re coming from high aspects.

Yak-38s, I remember how they used to perform massive suicides on some map finishing the battle within five minutes.

Don’t forget about how they can go over mach 1.5 in EC matches whenever they feel like.

Imho your general question is rather miseading - there are no good or bad ai planes.
Your question should be:
Which ai plane has the biggest upside for you or your team and why?
Example:
At 5.0 you face often AI Fw 190 F-8s and A-26s. So whilst the 190s are producing more damage due to their SC 1.000 bomb - the ai A-26s kill quite often rookie fighter pilots with their defensive turrets.
If you look at ai 110s vs ai Il-2s - you might survive a few hits from the 110 gunner, but usually a single hit from the Il-2 gunner shoots a wing off or sets you on fire.
The most effective ai planes are imho the Hs 129s on the Frontline Kuban (=3 bases) map. If you are able to keep the enemy team busy (=preventing them from killing ur ground ai units) they allow you to win even hopelessly outnumbered in a heavy ticket disadvantage.
Reason: They spawn very late (=less enemy players alive and able to shoot them down) and they kill with every attack 100 tickets per plane - and there are at 9 or 12 of them. As a sidenote: Shooting them down has zero ticket impact like on most other maps.
