Don't feel bad, here is a snap of the first autonomous helo UAS landings I sponsored:

I'd like to watch the entire 5 hour video but around 5:15 he described what was clearly a 2 circle fight as a 1 circle fight leads me to believe the commentary isn't going to be very valuable.

That being said, most computers can do most things more efficiently than humans. It's certainly that way with autopilot, magic carpet, and in this case 1v1 ACM. That being said, large force employment like a 12v48 would probably be different. But who knows.

My horse has been put in the stable, I think there'll be pilots in cockpits through at least gen 6, but time will tell.

***EDIT***

Fast forwarded to the end to see what the actual pilot was flying, a low cost VR trainer is a poor substitute for our high fidelity FMS's. I think that certainly didn't help.
