so i suppose hard to say what's the matter .. matter in software or in programmers...

Then introduce random variables for the AI. Truly random. For instance, AI always goes into a steep climb to try and escape. Almost. Every. Time. Why not randomly pick High-g barrel roll / Defensive spiral / Rolling scissors / High Yo-Yo / Low Yo-Yo / Split-S / Immelmann / Defensive split / Pitchback / Wingover when on or near the AI's high/low 6 o'clock, 8-4 O'clock etc. Same with head-on pass, stay and hold your line or randomly pick something else.
