Early 1944 - 40% Rookie, 40% Average, 15% Veteran, 5% Ace.
Mid 1944 to 1945 - 60% Rookie, 15% Average, 20% Veteran, 5% Ace.

I agree with you. Those Percentages are almost same with my anticipation.

I agree. AI don't do tactical retreat.
AI does not fear losing a life. And AIs squadron leader does not think for the next battle.

I think big cause of AIs problem is "too exact deflection shooting".
Rookie, Average, Veteran,Ace, difference is hardly seen by all levels.
Because all skills pilots are do deflection shooting similarly.
Deflection shooting is very high technique.

I propose the next.

Rookie - Not do deflection shooting. It may be made very rare. However, it hardly hits.
Average - Rarely does deflection shooting. Inaccurate and will seldom hit.
Veteran - Sometimes do deflection shooting. And sometimes hit.
Ace - Use deflection shooting.

However, In recollection of real Ace pilots, I think they like very short-range fire than deflection shooting.
