Nice plain but it has the same drawback as the rest of the jets, there is still a pilot in it. All this maneuverability is useless when you are doing a dogfight with a machine. The human body can take only so many G's.

"All this maneuverability is useless when you are doing a dogfight with a machine."

Actually this is incorrect because 5th+ generation fighters will be shooting at targets at many miles away which gives a jet like this plenty of time to out-maneuvoer a missile. In essence forcing his opponent to come in closer for a more direct hit.
