    Maneuverability is much less of a factor now as BVR engagements and stealth have taken over.

    But, yeah, in general a pilot that isn’t subject to physical constraints can absolutely out maneuver a human by a wide margin.

    The future generation will resemble a Protoss Carrier sans the blimp appearance. Human controllers in 5th and 6th gen airframes who direct multiple AI wingman, or AI swarms.
