[Tactics] How is a BVR Air-to-Air combat actually handled ?

All is in the title: I wonder how exactly is handled a BVR Air-to-Air combat , I suspect it’s far more complex than simply “close-in, aim, shoot!”, as I used to perform in most simulations games…

So ? What are the main methods and tactics ? How to approach the ennemy aicraft(s) ? What are the best angles of fire ? What are the evasive manoeuvers ? How to “dodge” a missile ? And how effective are missiles in general ? What incidence have Fox1, Fox2 and Fox3 missiles on combat ta&ctics respectively ? What to do and what NOT to do ? etc, etc… and probably many more questions I’m forgetting here…

Thanks for your answers… 🙂
