Not sure what this means, exactly. I'm sure it didn't have the best
guns-to-missiles kill ratio, since there were several aircraft that
got nothing but gun kills (having no AAMs). Take the F-105, for
example.

Tom, the F-105 is credited with 3 kills by AIM-9Bs.

Oops. Tillman drops further in my opinion then. He states the F-105 kills
were guns-only in _MiG Master_. Granted, it's not primarily about the
F-105, but he ought to have checked (and so should I).
