I'd say the aircraft matter much more then pilots.[/QUOTE]

It would seem from your examples that the aircraft matter WAY TOO MUCH---
to the point of making other factors a non-factor. The second results are
about what I'd expect from the first circumstances (except for the 10 crashed
on landings) for a GOOD AMERICAN RESULT. On a bad day they might come
out equal. The second has very inexperianced pilots piling up a hefty kill ratio
against extreamly experianced veterans. The result is garbage..., there is no
other way to put it. That much of a skill differential might not guarantee the
Japanese a great result (if the Americans spotted them coming they could
simply open the throttles and run away)---but in an actual "furball" that edge
in experiance should virtually assure a favorable score for the zeros. A 20 skill
can't represent anything more than ability to get in the air and maybe keep
formation. A 99 is the cream of the crop, guys who can make their aircraft
turn cartwheels, and who've mastered all the tricks. They'll get 100+% out of
their aircraft's capabilities. The 20-skill guy will be doing well to get half. If
"Pilot Skill" is going to be in the game, it's got to mean something. The figures
you're putting out aren't encouraging at all in that regard.
