Some of the major reasons I don't care for "dueling" -- all it is, is diving for as MUCH speed as you can on the merge, person with the mose E wins the fight 99.9999% of the time, because the rest of it is just repeated immelmans or rolling scissors.
Not useful skills in a real dogfight, unless you're coming in at 500mph like these guys were, head-on, and plan on out-looping the other guy.
Also makes for a really long, boring fight that has less to do with pilot skill than the E-state you entered the fight with. I got bored 1/4 the way through, and stopped watching 1/2 the way through.
My highly biased opinion.
