No… Gaijin devs would never override what Primary Documents actually state so that they could model something the way they wanted for “balance” instead of it being based upon realism.
/s if it wasnt obvious

Im not looking forward to how stupidly OP those are going to be, but thankfully they might be nerfing LDIRCM before its added
I mean why wouod you bother with BVR when you can just dance in the sky…😅
if you a WT player going to AC8, its really not WT
Putting the serious hat on for a moment - doing tricks like the Kobra or Kubit are of dubious utility in the real world.
‘Great - let’s dump all my airspeed, some height and most of my energy do I can do this cool trick!’
To which the pilot following you is probably going to say ‘Thank you Brutik for giving me an easier shot - here, have a couple of 27mm rounds stitched into your canopy as a reward’.
That is of course assuming Mr Felon Pilot manages to get into WVR - which in modern air combat is probably going become less and less of a thing as sensors/missiles get progressively better.
Yes yes indeed…
Now imagine if an F-22 does this
F-22 super-agility is similarly dubious for the same reasons.
I had an F-18 try to do it to me in the GR4, was hilarious when I just cut him in half
Sounds like a marketing lie
Yeah Kobra is dumb and even in a world where we have HMDs and missiles pulling in excess of 100Gs totally pointless

well theres no other reason to not believe the harrier was actually a very capable aircraft.
So capable that it is still in service to this day in some militaries to this day.
Is there a single instance of one burning up doing this? Theres been engine failures that cause fires (fan blades breaking and so on) but never flat out burnouts caused by overheating.
All we need is a little bit of AOA aircraft arguments.
Or SUPERCRUISE!
SENSOR FUSION!
or… METEOR IMPULSE!
There are a few rabbit holes that Typhoon threads seem to head down…

Thread got derailed by Luque in the first place though.
As he does many times.
