human players or AI? With AI I say you are dam* right.
human not so much.
why? The dam* game AI favours planes that dogfight and turn better. Just that simple.
Watch the AI. It will never use the boom-zoom qualities beside one pass and then tries to enter a turning contest in every plane and that is why usually the German planes suck so much against fx late russians because they where the better dogfighters.
in jets, for which the AI never was designed, it is the most obvious when a 262 tries to maneuver behind any given plane. no speed advantage anymore, just a sloppy brick in the air.
The MIG does the same but turns better in this contest despite being speedwise 2nd. so it almost allways wins.
