I would say NO. The reason is that a dogfight shatters the fighter's 
cohesion. When they break off from the engagement the six fighters may
be 
headed at full thorttle in six entirely different directions. They need
to 
form up assess damage, get oriented and move out IN formation towards
their 
objective. They may also have fuel concerns at the end of the fight.
Move to 
dogfight, fine! dogfight then move as a formation, no way!
