Here's an AI profiles table with a whole ****ton of advanced **** enabled. They go into /(yourmod)/data/tables, saved as ai_profiles.tbl or (string)_aip.tbm if you want to use a modular table.

You can pull off all kinds of interesting poopoo here. For example "$Delay Before Allowing Bombs to Be Shot Down" defines how long bombs are invincible for after launch. In retail it's 1.5 seconds! If you think this is crazy bull****, you can edit that figure down, though beware of increased proximity detonations.
Just bear in mind some of these flags don't always do what they seem to. "$No extra collision avoidance vs player" in particular seems to do some counterintuitive stuff, and I think the 'chance AI has to fire missile at player' field is out of 7 or something like that.
