Kuku's link on the aerodynamics of a delta wing is excellent. Great post.
In a subsonic turning fight, a delta wing is going to bleed off a lot of energy fast. If I flew a delta wing fighter, I'd be in the "one pass haul a$$" mode.
Delta wings are beautiful. They perform well where they belong:
Straight and level and fast.
IMHO.
