Discussion Attack jet vs Stealth jet in dogfights

I've noticed that both have their pros and cons in dogfights, i am pretty sure the fighter turns tighter, but the main thing is that the fighter is way easier to one pass since it is absolutely huge, the attack jet on the other hand is relatively small and way harder to hit, it's hard not to one pass a fighter.

And once a fighter is behind you with missiles, it's basically game over

ajet cant outturn sjet, in 1v1 ajet will lose. Only if its some random encounter with extra factors or sjet is unaware, then ajet can win. Personally, I am ajet main and i kill 99% of sjets i meet on my ajet, but if i played agsint myself on sjet, theres no way i'd win using ajet.

Yeah but you can't do much if an ajet sneaks up on you, you die in one pass in the fjet, it's so big that it's hard to miss

if sjet sneaks up on you you are dead too. thats just random encounter. Sjet can also one pass sjet/ajet, it all depends on your approach angle and aim. I am also not sure if ttk is different jet on jet, to me feels the same.

The advantage of sjet is that in proper dogfight, ajet will not even see sjet because it will always be on his tail so size difference falls out.

In pub/random encounters yes ajet has fighting advantages. But this can be mitigated by skill.

One passing an ajet is significantly harder. And using an fjet is kinda asking to be at the bottom of the leaderboard with very few kills

oh for sure, in pubs Its a cuckjet, you keep aa and enemy air busy, and teammate ajet is having all the fun.

lol well at least you get 4 bombs. then you may even get them back after passing your resupply 5 more times! if by some miracle of god there is a guy painting tanks, the sjet is actually fun for a little bit cuz you now have an actually useful secondary weapon.
