Dogfighting -does 4.11-4.12 patch address this?

See this is what I thought but the AI does it so infrequently that I thought maybe he was using the word incorrectly and it was in reference to boom and zoom energy tactics which is also not dogfighting

The initial pass does tend to be head on when the QMB is set to default. I like to setup advantage/disadvantage scenarios as well. Mixes things up. But after that its an all bets are off... it does not tend to be a lot of tail chasers but it also doesn't tend to be a continual head on after head on. I almost never see that... Then again I usually go nose up immediately, gain about 500 or more meters, then level out build my speed and make an aggressive angled shot into the initial formation breaking it up and separating out the fighters so I can pick them off. Veteran, Ace, Regular... none of them think tactically. They just react
