Having found Gunship a few years ago, I'm not sure that this is true. At least one of the members is in their 40s, and based upon their other works, they definitely seem to have a love of the 80s and 90s (at least the media of it).
It made me look into the making of the visual elements [0] and a more technical look here [1] of the short film "Paths of Hate".
Given some (or all?) of the elements are 3D models, that would make a great experience in VR.
Would it be possible to have it as a VR music video?, or do those compositing shots/passes mean you wouldn't see the same thing? Amazing how creative people are... and how much work goes into such work.

For those reading this comment that listen to The Adventure Zone and finished the first season, there is an amazing edit of fan art as a music video to Hey Brother that will hit you right in the feels about Taako’s story. It’s not the same genre, obviously, but I bring it up because context + music + amazing editing = magic in that case also.
I saw a post here about a similar dogfight in the macross anime, not sure what happened to it. Probably this one:
It's always nice to watch planes flying.
