As a former RAG instructor I can tell you not only does ACM teach close in weapons employment and as the name implies, dogfighting, but it lets you learn to fly the jet at the edge of the envelope. To fly by nibbling at buffet and feeling the aircraft respond at high G is an art.
I know there are times when you will have to manuever the jet violently when dodging a SAM or other threat (to include the ground). In that arena the additional hands on training of flying the jet at the edge, will also give you an advantage.
Should we continue WVR training?...in my opinion, yes.
Will we have visual engagements in the future due to our ROE?...without a doubt, yes.
