I have my own copy of Shaw, thank you anyway though.  ;)

And btw, courage is not a problem in AHII. This is a sim. Not to be confused with any activity requiring heroism. What is needed is know-how.

For a real pilot to actually implement the know-how OTOH, immense courage is required. Consider the simple rope-a-dope maneuver, a tactic that most of us have used hundreds of times. But can you imagine the courage it would require in real life to use yourself as bait like this, to hang above the muzzles of another fighter's cannons and machine-guns waiting for the stall, even if you "know" he doesn't have the E for a stable gun solution?
