Yes, this is a game, so turning till you black out pulling sustained unrealistic G's to get the win within any range really is the key to this game! Or in other words, there are many tactics you can use to win, do not get singled out on aim120 vs w/e. It doesn't matter... what matters is how do you play? do you know the difference in the game on how aim120b vs c reacts within WVR? Those factors will let you win. Do not discredit BFM tatics or speed, weight and maneuvering, just remember this is a game.
On key on some of this might help you out is, play single player and watch other views, time when shooting, travel speed. Hope some of this helps.
