The "average" ace would simply be good at everything- but there should be a few that are only average in one or two traits -and a few that are exceptional. The "average" novice should be mediocre - but there should be a few born leaders, marksmen, flyers among them -and have maybe good gunnery skills.

I'd also add Health and Situational Awareness to the mix.
Health determines ability to handle injury and G-stresses.
Situational Awareness determines spotting distances and likelihood of losing sight of an enemy when he ducks out of sight.
Even better, have a way of letting players choose these traits for AI pilots in the FMB.
