Ahhh I see, its all about not fighting his fight. Which perfectly explains this statement when Raptors went against Typhoons
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articl ... ag-373312/"the Typhoon has good energy and a pretty good first turn, but that they were able to outmanoeuvre the Germans due to the Raptor's thrust vectoring. Additionally, the Typhoon was not able to match the high angle of attack capability of the F-22. "We ended up with numerous gunshots," another USAF pilot says."
Looks like against an energy fighter like the Typhoon, Raptors like to go slow and use her TVC instead.
