Yes you right... Sometimes I met a new player that I've never seen before online. And he flies like an eagle amongst pigeons that I have to reevaluate my standards. It's not possible to become such a good fighter with only practicing BOP offline. They must be sim veterans. What is great with BOP is that you score really depends on your level. That's really stable. (a lot more than COD for example) so you can track your progress.
But you still can have a lot of luck. One burst your target burn into flame.
Personnaly I distinguish to side of the dogfight:
1/ Being able to get yourself on "his 6"
2/ gunnery
For the first one you could learn from posts, articles to learn tricks and tactics, how to spot ennemies, to have the thighter turn, how to behave when you are chased...etc
For the second point "gunnery", It's just practice.
So many times I loose my kill because I take too long to shoot my target down and I got Kill instead by another ennemy (who takes not so long to shot me down)
