As an addon, I was reading a book on post cold war combat aviation and one Russian General who was in charge of their air defense in the cold war basically stated "Chances are if you're dog fighting, you're dog fighting over something that you don't want to dog fight over"
In other words, getting into a dog fight usually means that you're in a totally defensive situation.
The plane in the best offensive position is the one that gets its weapons on target and fires first.
