G capability is increasingly less important in designing a fighter. Dogfighting is largely a thing of the past - and new systems coming on line will increase that trend.

Hate to admit it.

Dog fights have gotten bigger but I don't think they'll ever go away. In the age of missiles it's almost a proxy fight, as the pilot must dodge the missile of the other guy while trying to get a lock on and shoot his own. G-forces become more important because sharp turns are the best way to make a missile miss. And some how we still can't mange to get rid of guns.
