there are so many variables in air combat, "It depends" is the phrase that comes to mind. The idea is to use the advantages if your aircraft to exploit the disadvantages of your opponents aircraft, the variables being energy weight, load, alt, speed, etc. Tactics change as the advantage/disadvantages and variables change. Know the capabilities of your aircraft, and your opponents aircraft, and it still "Depends" on pilot skill. we may be surprised how deadly the Tom is in the Trans sonic range due to the sweep wing? or it could be a brick? other a\c experiencing mach tuck first etc.? will be interesting to find out.
