I believe that the Insane skill level from D1/D2 is equal to the
Hotshot skill level from D3, when comparing to difficulty.  While they
do dodge a bit on Hotshot, it's not really much compared to Ace or
Insane.  

It's one of the good things that I like about D3 - when the skill
level increases, the difficulty in dogfighting enemy bots also
increase (as opposed to just the firing rate increasing.)
