This series of Quick Battles is intended to serve as a laboratory to examine how technology,
tactics, and doctrine affect Beyond Visual Range (BVR) fighter-versus-fighter combat in CMO.
This plane set represents approximately the first decade of practical guided missile technology from about 1955
to about 1965. For the purpose of setting criteria for inclusion into this set, the definition of a “BVR” platform has
been extended to include any all-aspect or head-on capability. Interceptors that were not actually intended to engage
other fighters are included anyway. In this era, the lack of look-down shoot-down radar can give a tactical advantage to
a fighter that is well below its adversary in altitude- a rather unusual situation considering the history of WVR aerial
combat to this point! Furthermore, while the use of radar warning receivers (RWRs) is not yet widespread, several Soviet-built
fighters (and a few others) may benefit from their early- though primitive- adoption.
