I suspect that the "90% never saw the plane that shot them" statistic means that it's actually impossible to shoot down a plane that is manouvering against a particular aircraft by that aircraft unless the pilot makes a mistake.

Or, because real air battles were bigger than 2 vs 2, you could not maneuver against a single bogey for long. Real pilots knew the risks - during the battle of britain day(eagle day), there was only ONE 1 vs 1 fight that lasted more than 20 sec - neither Spitfire or 109 took any hits or went down. Pilots who engaged in close-in fights were either impossibly stupid and/or foolhardy, or were very good, and knew the risks(and, at the same, were smart enough to not get shot down).
That will be the case in game too, if and only if players will keep surviving and a safe RTB their objective number 1.
