This is not quite true, there is a TON of luck involved.

One of the main reasons this is an issue is the nature of the arena, dogfight servers are really set up to Duel, if you will, and having a better performing plane is certainly an asset, but it does not guarantee you anything. People go into a DF server to get into aerial hand to hand combat and when one plane has a noticeable edge compared to the rest it can become quite apparent.

Fly enough combat flight sims and you will have to fly in situations where you are in a poorer performing aircraft, especially if you are going for historical plane sets (I am not saying the CoD Spit II has a historical flight model for a Spit II with 87 octane fuel), and there is great satisfaction when you can get the job done with a plane that is not good as the one you are fighting.
