Merge is two or more jets pointing at each other then pass each other. Top Gun has a bunch of examples. Then , electronic attack is jamming of various sorts.

Its kind of amazing to me that the most gayest thread in the history of ARF has an F-15 in the question.

@mudEagle

@Mach

I'm not going to lie. the whole room is spinning because this is so gay. Its like two E-2 NFOs decided "lets make the most gay thing, ever."

Its like the Top 10 Gay Broadway Musicals decided to have a Manhattan Project to make Weapons Grade Gay for a strike into Mecca.

Its like the AIDS Quilt decided to fuck South Beach to make a super gay thing.

Its like a Air Battle Manager decided to make the Tsar Bomb of Gay. And won.

What are the ROE?

I'd say in a guns only dogfight, the F-16 all day.

BVR? F-15 all day.

If you are in a dogfight, you probably screwed up. The idea is to shoot them down before you get that close. Where is your wingman? Is he out of long-range missiles too? If you did screw up, I would hope your training is way superior to that of your opponent regardless of what fighter you are flying. If I was going to be in a dogfight I want the A Team:  F-22, F-35, or F-15 EX. In this day and age, the B Team is not the best plan.

He definitely had a history by that time. I think he was dealing with some personal stuff but it seems he'd come in swinging (I think maybe he was drunk or on something because his typing/posting noticeably changed, especially in the evenings) and would just unload on people even if they innocently asked a question about an F-16 or something else figher/plane related. I know myself and several others asked him to pump the brakes a bit. I hope he's doing well and getting some help. He had a lot of knowledge but was really unhinged by the time he finally caught the banhammer imho.
