Modern vs. WWII air-air combat

[Anaxogoras]

How difficult would it be to enter a jet dogfight only to have the mass confusion of missiles flying everywhere? It would become nearly impossible to have the dogfights in scale of WWII furballs if every fighter was carrying missiles, all potentially bearing down on you!

And with the high off-boresight capability of missiles like the AIM-9x, the whines about HO's would be deafening.

I think every "era" of air-to-air combat would be gameable and fun in their own rights but the current era would be very different from what we're used to seeing; I imagine it would be something involving more ECM than anything else.

For dogfighting action, I think the Vietnam-era/tech with buggy AIM-9's and AIM-7's would be the latest we could go.
