And what you do then is what this training is for, idiot. The worse case scenario. When everything goes to complete shit, what the fuck do you do? Give up, or fall back to these training exercises, and pull that rabbit out of your ass and use that training to win and come back alive? Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
What happens when you're all out of missiles, in an envelope that favors your enemies' fighter, with that enemy having the better position directly on your tail? How do you handle that mentally? How do you handle that strategically? What's your game plan? Are you going to freak out mentally, panic, and allow your enemy to kill you because you've never been put in such a disastrous position before? No, you've seen this in training multiple times, and it's not new to you. So, you don't freak out mentally. Okay, so you didn't freak out mentally and completely shut down. What's your plan now? Well, good thing we've trained this before, and I now know what I need to do strategy wise to get my F-35 in a position to where I have the advantage allowing me a chance at getting the gun kill against my enemies' fighter. This is literally what this is for: 1) Prepare your F-35 pilot mentally for the worst case scenario in a fight, and 2) allow your F-35 pilots to devise strategies that will allow them to gain the upper hand in the worst case scenario to allow them the best chance of getting a kill, or at least to get them in a position where they can break off the fight and make it home alive. It's a rather simple way of training that's been going on since Top Gun was started.
