The point is, there are things that can be done to bring both sides of aerial combat to the table without diminishing either. I'm having difficulty understanding how someone could be against that - especially in a forum culture where "Easy Mode" is used as a pejorative.

I'd agree. I find the dogfighting extremely restrictive because stopping to hover really eliminates the effectiveness of a lot of evasive maneuvers. It's just so much easier for a pursuer to simply come to a hover and blast the crap out of the poor shmuck that is doing all manner of aerial acrobatics thinking he's actually being followed.
