i think the key is the altitude they are at. too high and they dont "alert" to enemy ships so they can fly right by you no matter how you set things like elite status and direction (because sunshine reflection reduces how easy they see you)

think of it like 4 equal parts that combine to make it work

altitude = 25%
direction = 25%
skill level = 25%
random response = 25%

keeping this in mind you can see why we see such different results sometimes.

i have found if planes are too high or too low they just dont see the enemy so you need to find the sweet spot where you get the best results. sadly i never took the time to do this myself because i havent done very many missions with planes.
