So full of hate were our eyes that we could not see. Our war would yield countless dead but never victory. So let us cast arms aside and like discard our wrath. Thou, in faith, will keep us safe whilst we find the path.

The Falcon has a front-mounted machine gun, can come equipped with two side-mounted grenade launchers that can launch EMP grenades to disable the hornet along with regular grenades, or will have two side-mounted machine gun turrets. It is also faster at maneuvering, but is slower at gaining height.
The Hornet has a front-mounted machine gun, and rockets that lock on, and is slower at maneuvering, but faster at gaining height.
It's actually a tough choice. Rockets are a very deadly weapon.
Ah, but the trick is to get the grenade to explode at the right spot, midair. That's very difficult to do, especially considering that you have to account for drop, the falcon's motion, the Hornet's motion, and range. Add that to the fact that only one grenade (from each launcher) can be in the air at a time (unless you bounce it off a surface, which won't happen in an A2A duel), and the difficulty compounds, as you have fewer shots.
