Sure the Elite give challenge but I would prefer the challenge depended most on my skill to fly rather than my luck on weapons. Actually, even if I'm lucky with weapons the AI still doesn't care if it's hit or not. Once a Mirage took a bomb right in the face in the last Chenghou turn. I passed it, took the pads and looked behind. She didn't took the pads but somehow managed to pass me again on the first turn to the right. I was with Assegai btw, same speed and same thrust.

Things like this are pretty ridiculous.
