In pure air combat maneuvering (ACM) training, the focus is on how to use one's aircraft to its fullest potential REGARDLESS of opposition platform. Tactics is when the focus shifts to analyses of opposition platform's strengths and weaknesses, then how to avoid the former and exploit the latter. Top Gun, Fighter Weapons School, and Red Flag enabled ACM and tactics in near combat environment.
I do not often use cliches, but for this, it is the proverbial 'game changer' in the training arena and no one outside the US is going to be the wiser. In other words, no pilot will know if his US opponent have received training from possibly the world's best technical training aid in terms of ACM.
