Most battles are won from the start, and in most cases you’re right that SARH at the beginning can lead to an f16 being in a bad spot.
I had some late game 1v1s with the old flanker vs F-16/gripen/F-2 and none survived the high altitude R-27ER spam after 2-3 missiles. I only have to climb to 5000m and keep them dancing around the ground but eventually they get bad RNG with splash damage
