What Sage is missing is that any dogfight has elements of energy fighting in it. If two pilots in the same aircraft type start out head to head at the same altitude and speed, the one which manages his energy better can get up out of reach of their opponent very easily and change it from a turning fight into a energy fight. that does not mean the pilot is boring, it means he is a great pilot.
The same goes for aircraft types, If you are flying on a historical server, that matches up different aircraft types that fought during WWII, then any aircraft type you encounter is going to either turn better than yours or be faster. Calling the pilot of a FW190 stupid because he uses his aircraft's advantages is as ignorant as calling the pilot of a Zero stupid for using its great turning ability.
Video where I turn a fight from energy, to turning and burning and back to energy again, which is why the other guy lost.....:
