Trust me Vrouw, that will change with the time. When I was in my first battle against the LN, I died first, too. The trick is, not to fight against the aces as a rookie (I did that against Seanne -> pew pew), obey the orders of the battle command (Because they usually know who to attack.) and to handle your vessel.
Just train with the long-time LN pilots, they did very good.
Its sometimes its more like "shoot the guy with no lag this time and maybe cant dodge so well".
Not seperating yourself with Aces though, is indeed a good idea.
Ive seen several pilots trying to take on guys in a 1on1.
If the numbers are already uneven due to losses on your side, DONT DO it.
Youll get shot by the guy you are taking on and if someone of the other enemies is paying attention, he will rush to you as well, to make it a 2on1.
Can be an easy kill then.
Merge the battle, keep your mates informed that youa re under preassure.
If possible, someone tries to annoy one of your pursuers.
To All Rheinland Military and allied personnel: Classification - Top Secret
Now listen up. The following information you are about to read may turn the tide of war with Liberty. Agents of the Buro der Marineintelligenz have discovered that the Liberty Battleship Whitefield has been moved from Quebec to the New Hampshire system for a possible strike into Bremen.
Admiral Hale has made a crucial error in thinking we would not notice the movement of the Whitefield while RM forces are engaged on the Hudson front. Several MND agents have died bringing us this information, and we will honor them with a decisive victory.
Here are the orders. On Saturday, September 5 at 18:00 GMT, I want your asses in bombers and rendezvoused at the Battleship Westphalia in Bremen. I repeat, everyone will be flying a bomber. Speed will be our greatest alley. We must destroy the Whitefield as quick as possible and return to Bremen before Liberty forces can respond from New York. Those pilots and recruits who have just graduated from the Rheinland Military Academy and not assigned to a bomber wing, you will fly your Wrath. All the rest will be in bombers.
Allied and reserve pilots are welcome to participate in this crucial mission. You will also be flying a bomber.
I expect full compliance of the above by all Rheinland Military and allied pilots. My superiors may modify these orders as they see fit.
Any reports of this information falling outside the approved list of individuals with Top Secret clearance will be investigated by the Buro der Marineintelligenz.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have an amazing oportunity opening up before us as I speak. The LSF has intercepted Rheinland transmissions indicating they are intending on destroying the Whitefield. Now, the Whitefield has extensive anti cap capability, however it is weak against bomber assault.
I intend on pre-empting this assualt and destroying the RM's bomber wing before it can even launch. The Battleship Westphailia will be out target, as intelligence implies the attack will be launched from there at 20:00 GMT saturday 5th of sept.
In order to catch the RM off guard we shall stage out attack two hours earlier, at 18:00.
The destruction of the Westphailia may allow us to open a beachhead in the Bremen system and move the Battleship Concord through the jumphole.
All available bomber craft not already engaged in operations in Hudson and Bering will be required. Any men or women only recently out of basic will be required to form a fighter escort.
I will be personally leading the operation. I expect you all to go beyond the dedication, fearless patriotism and impecable discipline I have come to see as standard within the Navy since the start of this conflict.
Roger that admiral ... i got cold so i might miss first wave still not sure i might recover till Saturday sir ... but i will be there for defending of Whitefield
***Transmission Terminated***
//hmm ... its 50:50 i might leave town for a week at Saturday or Sunday so i will try move it to Sunday so i can be on event

Piloten of the Rheinwehr,
the day is coming closer, when we will prevail over the Libertonian aggressors and within the streets of their capital cities you will only hear the sound of our boots, walking the march of victory! Prepare yourself for this day, as it won't come with ease! Get in touch with your ships, train your reactions, your aiming skills and the ability to work in teams!
This will be an opportunity to hit the enemy where it hurts the most: the destruction of one of their flagships, the Whitefield. With every destroyed battleship and battlecruiser, the Libertonians are becoming weaker, while the Kanzler and the Rheinwehr are gaining strength.
Show iron will and the discipline of a true Rheinland soldier and we will finally win this war!
