@randomusername but it was a fighter, so it needs good control surface effectiveness. Oh, for an interceptor, is it important to have good maneuverability?

While the fighter engages them in a dogfight
@randomusername At first i tought an interceptor only chases the enemy and fire missiles at some range and then return.
@randomusername Doesnt that makes a fighter a little useless if it have the same ability like an interceptor that is faster?
