Summary – Fighter vs Bomber -- Basic Limitations of AIM-9B against a Maneuvering Target
Fighter Introduction
In our discussion of fighter-versus-bomber tactics, you will recall, we determined the capabilities and limitations of our weapons systems. On having learned these parameters, we then developed our fighter-versusbomber tactical doctrine. In our discussion of fighter-versus-fighter tactics, we will employ this same procedure. The order of discussion will be as follows:
- Basic limitations of AIM-9B Against a Maneuvering Target
- Fighter Maneuvers
- Tactical Formation
- Flight Tactics
When analyzing fighter-versus-fighter tactics, by way of the four major phases above, we will employ the case system – a plan whereby we examine possible hypothetical situations which the pilot may encounter in fighter versus-fighter combat.
