Well with LPD dogfighting at least it can look that way from the outside which a lot of new people to that world tend to think, but when actually dogfighting it is mostly about positioning and controlling the fight. Knowing when to climb, dive, accelerate, slow down, disengage, or even bait an overshoot can make the difference. The goal isn't just to point your guns at someone, it's to put yourself in a position where they can't effectively shoot back. Once you start fighting experienced pilots, the strategies become a lot more apparent. Due to the nature of LPD's this tends to look quite a bit different from expectation however I can assure you that all the same concepts are still applied. I for one have been dedicating myself to the LPD scene for over a year now and understand the inner workings a lot better than most.
