My understanding is that dogfighting shouldn’t be a thing with the F-35. It’s not like in Top Gun where the pilot needs to align the plane with its target to shoot it down. The F-35 pilot just needs to point their head towards the enemy to lock on. That means they can shoot down someone that’s behind them. No acrobatics needed.
The F-35 comes with a bunch of other technology that make it truly formidable. The cost has also come down substantially, so it’s probably the cheapest option out there as well.
