@roblockhart6104 FYI, the so-called "super maneuverability"'s thrust vector (improves tail related flight control functions) benefits low-speed nose pointing (relative to empty weight) which is countered by 360 degrees targeting and thrust vector enabled A2A missiles. Acceleration helps energy recovery after an instantaneous turn.
F-16's tail and LERX design is not for Hornet's nose pointer/high sustain G minimum turn radius low-speed regime. F-16 Vista's thrust vector control enables F-16 to fight in nose pointer/high sustain G minimum turn radius low-speed regime.

Frisian Flag 2012 exercises in Holland, Finnish F-18Cs gets 100 kills and 6 loses against Eurofighter (Germany, UK), Polish new F-16 and older F-16 planes (Norway, Belgium) and Gripen (Swedish)
Finland's F-18C has a 16:1 kill ratio over Germany/UK's Eurofighter, Poland's F-16C Block 52+ and Norway/Belgium's F-16A MLU, and Sweden's Gripen.
F-16's angle of attack is limited to about 26 degrees.

Norwegian F-35 Pilot Counters David Axe's Controversial Dogfighting’ Report.
Date: 2016, before December 2017 F-35A Block 3F.
Well according to a Norwegian pilot the Jet handles better in a dogfight than the F-16 in some respects. He said that the F-35 can pull its nose around and keep a target in its sights better than the F-16 can. He said it's easier to be aggressive with the F-35. The F-35 which lost to the F-16 was a very early built F-35, one of the first and the idea of the test was to explore the F-35's ability to maneuver at high AOA. The test exposed areas of improvement which were needed, the test pilot said that the jet had the performance there but it was limited by the software at the time, and by the sounds of it the software has been improved because many of the weak areas found during testing appear now to be some of its greatest areas
Fighters such as F-22A combine F-15C and Hornet-style dogfighting capabilities.
