Hmmmmm.
It seems to me there's a LOT more to ACM nowadays than just the ability to maneuver to point your nose at your intended target. With helmet sighting/cueing systems and IR dog fight missiles with wide field of regard sensors that can be cued to look in a specific direction and lock on, ultimate agility/maneuverability is not nearly as critical. Note the qualifier there. Not nearly as critical. In the first days/hours of an air war, IF your opponent has significant air defense assets (and the training not to mention the will to use them effectively), you send in air-superiority fighters (F-22 Raptor?) to sweep the skies before you send in your attack assets, or as escorts to protect your attack assets. The F-35 is NOT an air superiority fighter and was never intended to be, yet has pretty decent maneuverability/agility for self-defense in the event it gets jumped. It does a LOT of things VERY well. It does NOT do everything and was never intended to.
