Just in case no-one's pointed that out yet 
IMO that would not be the case. Since you're both using the same AI files (in strategic combat), ship design, strategy (Max Range, Dont Get Hurt, etc), and formations are really the key factors.
However, I'm not that knowledgeable about modding. If the AI's use their own "Strategic Combat" files, then my argument holds no water....
