(from the anime doesn't appear to be the case - or for that matter not enough forces are deployed to display the critical mass required to be effective - it's always BETA swarm vs a couple TSF which can only get surrounded and die - why is close combat effective again?)

The analogy of F-22 can only apply to TSF vs TSF - F-22 (the actual aircraft) should never ever end up in a situation that require dog fighting capabilities.
Well, RL F-22 can dog-fight at similar levels as near half priced RL Euro-fighter.
RL F-35 is like RL F-16 with 5th gen-features.
