Stillin. Yes, I am serious.
Thank you for a very competent and concise reply.
Just a few questions though.
I am not a fighter pilot, so I lack experience of these issues. I am merely dealing with open sources, physics, logic and the operational record.
The problem is, that all the accepted wisdom (which you present well) seems to be contradicted by the operational record. There are very few operational instances of Manoeuvre being a factor in air combat.
How big a factors are, Speed, sustainability (% fuel weight % Weapons) pilot training, weapons/sensors and C3I.
I suggest the holistic effect of those five are more important than manoeuvre as a goal in attempting to gain air superiority. What am I missing ?
