It was very strange to me seeing only a select few planes received a manuever button. I assume that Gajin chose the planes based on whether or not those planes could toggle AoA/G limits irl with a single dedicated button (although this wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense considering the F-14 didn’t get it), but I don’t work at Gajin so I really can’t say.
Regardless, I believe that all planes should get a manuever button. Most planes could do what the manuever button would do irl through indirect means, whether it’s switch SAS modes or the pilot simply pulling the stick back more.
Speaking of switching SAS/pulling the stick back more, you can already do this ingame by switching control types (mouse aim to full real) the issue is, doing this requires using mouse joystick, and is clunky as you need to cycle through 4 control modes, half of switch are entirely useless. Allowing all planes to have a manuever button would streamline that process and allow mouse aim whilst doing it.
[size=5] TL:DR [/size=5]
Allowing all planes a manuever button would help evade history in accuracies regarding what plane gets one, and allow performing special manuever without using the clunky toggle control type function, or mouse joystick.
Edit: Added poll
Yes : All planes should get manuever button
No : Manuever button should be decided arbitrarily by Gajin devs (how it works right now)

Also, it would be a long overdue buff to the A-7 Corsair II
it is added on different aircraft based on gaijin’s discretion, not whether an aircraft has it irl or not
go ask a tech mod or community manager if you dont believe me
Presently you cannot report an aircraft for lack of the AOA limits removal button. Only aircraft that were planned to get it, got it. Its developer discretion on what gets it or not.
I think hes more asking for easier way to to go into full real controls for RB. Currently you have to cycle multiple times, or create a script to make it 1 button which watching some of these guys sort of seems thats what they do, not even sure if thats against ToS.
The other problem for RB is you have to use realistic joystick to completely remove the instructor, not simplified. And realistic joystick forces inverted controls scheme opposite of air RB logic and its jarring to use.
Having a button to just turn the instructor off/on would be amazing.
The feature to do this is already in game, its just overly convulted to use. I havent used the cobra button actually, im assuming this is all it is doing, just turning off the instructor, and keeping RB control scheme and not forcing you into inverted controls, or having to cycle 4 times through a list of control schemes.
Well technically, instructor is required for mouse aim. A manuever button doesn’t turn off instructor, rather it turns off instructor’s limits that normally stop you from getting into spins.
THIS. This is the part everyone here is missing. It doesn’t matter if I fly to New York City, go to the Intrepid, Park myself in an F-14 Tomcat Cockpit, and take pictures of it having an AoA limiter disabler. Why? Some DEV team halfway across the world decided it didn’t have one, and then on top of that said, “Nope, no other planes have this feature”. What the real problem here is the devs not wanting to do their job to the full extent.
