I have been shot down by 'elite' pilots several times. But I also got Fester... twice. Got Taki a few times, Wingzero too.
Ok, I was lucky, but it is not impossible to do. But when I look at their stats I am impressed. I can get a K/D like that OR a K/H like that, but never both. That makes them so good I think. And maybe the fact that they play 24/7
