Good morning NineLine! What you write is sacrosanct, if the virtual pilot would find himself in these conditions he would launch immediately, instead of continuing to fight.
I wonder one thing, in many guncams of the time you can see the airplanes that are repeatedly hit, as if they were motionless, as if by now the response on the commands is very slow. I don't know if this thought shares it, but could it possibly be reproduced?
