Willy, they were the accepted tactics up to the Korean war and for all I know, currently.
Hartmann did not start scoring in his 109 until well into his second *year*, finally heeding his Sq. leader's tutelage and closing within an est 50 meters (less) of target, part of which ended up in/on his a/c. From there, he added another 351 a/c.
What Barrett said. In spades.
This is brutal, but killing is a street fight. An assassination. 'Flying and stunting' is not really offensive tactics. It's evasion. And unless desperate, damned useless, at that....just an opinion.
