[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3288960, member: 26737"] A Tomcat won't be coming at a Zeke head-on, because he doesn't have to--he has a 20,000ft advantage in service ceiling and a better than 1,000kt speed advantage, as well as the aforementioned fire control systems, so he can get above and behind him (where fighter pilots [I]always[/I] try to get in a fight) at will and kill him dead. Basically, he can bring the fight to the Zeke from a position where the Zeke can't touch him, so close-in maneuverability doesn't enter into the equation (unlike the Zeke's severe lack of survivability).
