what would dogfights be like now if jets and missiles had not been invented

[Raw Kryptonite]

Since when is a dogfight just about turning? It's about close engagement, but that includes anything, not just turning.
Jets took over long before missiles. To say just any prop plane would win the dogfight it to remain oblivious to history. I can't believe anyone here would say such a thing. LOL

All of this is as if modern dogfights would be very relevant anyway, regardless of propulsion. Knocking dedicated fighters planes out of the sky with other dedicated fighter planes, just for the sake of doing it, doesn't accomplish that much. That's why bombers rule the day and that's pretty much what it's all about. Fighters are and would be support aircraft for other vessels (sea, air, land), not the main weapon.


Space Above and Beyond was mid 90's. Makes a good addition to any sci fi lover's dvd collection. Nice tie in! That's exactly what I picture.
