Flying around in circles isn't going to get you very far with someone that will counter with a reversal or an extension.
Absolutely. And even in a turn fight, one can use yo-yos etc to take advantage when appropriate. The whole sustained round-and-round dogfight scenario is so unlikely that I don't think it is even worth considering as historically significant - and of course anyone engaging in it is a sitting duck to an outsider...

It probably helps to know things like best-sustained-turn-rate speed etc, but as TheGrunch has pointed out, you need also to take into account the performance of your adversary.
