I'm not bad at dogfighting but it gets old. Throw in other challenges like killing SAM sites, shooting up convoys, air refueling, navigating in bad weather at night, landing on a carrier in pitching seas, all make it much more interesting.

Pretty sure that idea has been around since Hartman. He was asked his preferred method of attack:
"Coming out of the sun and getting close; dog-fighting was a waste of time."

Interesting. Those Mig-23s didn't fly at all like the ones I fight that are piloted by other players. The ones I fight come in at max speed, shoot you in the face and then extend for 100 miles before the reverse and repeat.
