All good stuff Max but I wanted to highlight that. Quote for truth!
Energy fighting doesn't involve that sitting on the tail tactic at all... and that's a mistake that a lot of pilots make. The aim is to shoot to kill in the first burst and if you miss then you start over again.
With a Wildcat or a Corsair you may not obliterate the Zero but you can aim for his wing, a rather large target on a Zero, and either cripple his ability to turn fight or de-wing them and score the kill. If aimed well at a good deflection angle... you can cripple or de-wing with a quick burst from the guns. All it takes.
And if you miss... then you re-position. It's not a rally race.
