Design and Ultimate limit load

While I agree, there’s no reason to cap it at ULL, since vast majority of ppl playing the game can’t tell the difference anyway. I mean, what does 9 or 15g mean to a kid living in London/Istanbul suburb?
Nothing, he doesn’t know what either is, so it may well be actual (RL limitation).
This way the game becomes arcade-ish, as the planes lose inertia and begin to spin like yoyos.
Already can tell the EF rolls too fast and generally planes turn way too fast at these idiotic Gs, so my suggestion is to bring all of this into RL ranges, at least in Simulator battle mode.
In AB, GJ may well lift the DLL and put it up to ULL, or whatever.

Yes, but here’s a problem. Everybody thinks he’s special, especially in today’s generation of kids, so once you open these doors everybody will cry they can take 12g and you can’t put them all into the centrifuge. :D Anyway, there’s the reason fighters have a DLL and FCS limit set to 9g and it should be respected, again, in SB. In AB, GJ should do whatever they like.

Sadly the game ignores the hardpoints limitations (and not just individual hardpoints but load as a whole) and event fully loaded AC has limits just like clean AC without any suspended armaments.

Many would be surprised that how limited flight envelope can be on a loaded AC.

That too.
F16’s tip eg. will hold AIM9 up to 10g, but AIM120 will fail at >9g already.
Generally, pylons and payload are rated for 5-6/9g.

F15 example…

Yep.
Local air-force pilot managed to bend Gripen airframe because he forgot that he has centerline droptank with some fuel in it, and performed some show off maneuver.

So it is about limitation of individual hardpoints but it is also about distribution of the payload among those hardpoints.

Limits on F16 and F5, which are completely disregarded in the game.

Or Falcon BMS where pulling 9G’s while carrying ordenance makes the pylons jam most of the time
