(Vertibirds are vertical lift vehicles.  They aren't helicopters.  Vehicles like them in real life, such as an Osprey, can move incredibly quickly and incredibly far in a short amount of time.  Not as fast as an F-16, but still quick.  Also, they have to all be going at the same speed.  You can't go high speed in a dog fight, you'd crash into something.  The jets can get boosts and outpace their opponants, but the advantage of a greater capability for speed is negligable.  What the jets have to their advantage is mobility, which the Vertibirds lack.)

"Correct." Deborah told him, as the jet dropped and then pulled itself back by shooting open it's flaps for a slip second-- held open any longer and they'd have been torn off. The Vertibird shot over head of the jet, providing Tim with a perfect shot as the A.I autolocked onto the target.

Alerts of warning came up for Duncan&Rick, both at the impending collision and as the Vertibirds unleashed missiles towards the pair, two each.

As Will was sprawled low on the airship from his near-death experience, he could see the bob of heads as Brotherhood knights in Recon Armor came over the rise in the blimp, towards him.
