Also the best pilot on the other team quickly picks up targets and is most likely to be in a turning fight shooting at another plane at any given moment, which makes for the easiest kind of target.

Yep I do this myself, and I also get it done to me a lot to. Infact simply because I feel confident in my flying skills I relish people going for me exclusively. On many occasions players will go for me and I can keep them busy long enough for a friendly to get on his 6 and take him out. A few times also I have used the enviroment to good effect to help in taking them on. Things like flying and under a bridge and looping right away with a bit of a bank can make many pilots disengage instantly or crash while trying to follow me. Or the "nap of the earth" flying up and over the cliffs of Dover is another great enviromental asset.
Dont forget as well to tell your team mates your in trouble over the Mic. If Im flying and a wingman calls a bandit on his 6 he cant shake, I immediatly try a raking pass to try and scare him off. Communicating to your team is great and helps out immensly.
