Warning...this is a little off topic (hell its a lot off topic)
SniperWannabee..please do not take this the wrong way...
you can put a super sonic wonder wing one up against a simple piper cub...and the piper cub might be the winner if it has the Man (or Woman) that has any sense at all at how to use his craft to his best advantage. The machines technology only gives the person the options that would enhance his ability to win. It doesnt do sqaut to give the Man the incentive, heart and will to win.
It goes with anything thats technology..weilded in the hands of a craftsman, anything can be an advantage in a fight. Put an idiot at its controls...well
back to the topic....
