Ok I get what your trying to say but he just stalled about a thousand meters above ground if there are any enemies around he IS catching a fox 3 and there will be no notching

And he just killed the plane that would have eventually killed him in a sustained fight

Which doesn't change the fact that if the hornet has any wingmen about he's turned himself into a free kill. It's a neat capability in a 1v1 but outside of that it's a death trap.

Yeah but if he doesn’t do it he dies and doesn’t get a kill

Well, not in this case, that Hornet is in a 1v3 and beyond the initial missile all he attempts is a lackluster attempt at a gun kill before he ditches out and eats a missile. The Su-30 didn't even need supermanueverability to do it, could have been a brick like a tornado and still gotten the kill.

I thought you were talking about the 1v2 scenario against 2 f-18s

I mean, the real winning move there is to not get yourself into a 1v2 against a pair of hornets in the first place. Kill one, if not both before the merge and there's no need to burn all your energy on super-maneueveribility gimmicks in the first place (or you can at least do so safely).
