Weapons systems air to air victories.

From what I can gather even in the age of airborne radar and air to air missiles air to air victories not involving a lot of Mk 1 eyeball were quite limited until quite recently, perhaps the 1991 Gulf War. While I’ve read a USN Commander set up a head on sparrow shot early on in Vietnam, firing as soon as he had a visual, this was quite uncommon during the Vietnam war. Sharkey Ward relates that the Sea Harrier only got 2 or 3 kills using the full weapons system, the rest were vectors and eyeballs in the Falklands. The Israelis had to be pushed by the US into setting up a Sparrow ambush during the War of Attrition and they kept their Mirage IIIs as their primary fighter for as long as possible, so they weren’t big weapons system advocates in the early AAM days.

Does anyone know how prevalent air to air engagements that relied heavily on the fighter’s weapons system were in the major wars of the missile age? And how successful such engagements were?
