What I personally don’t understand is why this AoA limiter disabler is being handpicked for a select few of vehicles, it really isn’t that hard to implement it on a large scale in chunks like what you’ve done with separate Ground BRs for aircraft.
Why should it matter whether a aircraft should receive it depending on the effectiveness of the AoA limiter disabler on a specific vehicle? It’s also funny how this feature has been introduced to either premiums or frequently played TT vehicles, it’s either pattern recognition or me going crazy.
Sadly this is not the case. Some aircraft that could hypothetically have this feature have little to no gameplay benefit to do so. In fact the opposite, where it causes negative gameplay outcomes for many that would try to use it
So should we remove APCR as it’s a extremely ineffective shell type? That statement is absolutely ridiculous, why should it matter whether it will negatively effect the vehicle or not, players want the OPTION to use it on a vehicle which historically had it nonetheless.
Exactly that, as an aircraft that benefits from it
So the F-14? I quite literally have controls for switching between full realistic and instruction mode for the F-14A since it DOES make a notable impact, I’ve actually won engagements specifically because of this winning the game for the team (and got video evidence lmao).
You’ll never truly know whether it will positively affect a vehicle or not and if it’s being introduced for testing, you might as well introduce it into the live server.
Please just give the F-14A/B it already…

what extra performance?
dont you just want to nerf every american aircraft flight performance, but yeah harrier should be able to write cursive with aerobatic smoke and its totally real
The current AoA limiter feature has been added to a range of aircraft and some for testing purposes like the F-15 for testing purposes. No further bug reports will be accepted at this time on missing AoA controls on aircraft as its currently by design for some aircraft.
they closed it
I don’t want to nerf American planes I quite like them actually. BTW the Harriers got about 1/4 the performance it SHOULD have and yes it is real.
F-5, F/A-18, now F-14?
is there video of harriers doing this stuff outside of airshows?

The F-5 blatantly overperforms lol, to a point where its silly, I have not made any reports for the F-18 or F-14. So i’m not sure where you are coming from on that one.
F5 is overperforming

Lol you wish the F-14 maneuvered worst in real life. It’s most likely underperforming because most other jets like the F-16 and Deltas are overperforming. Add fly-by-wire flight control systems to the game and suddenly the F-14 looks a lot better.
you used an F/A-18A manual to justify all the F/A-18’s overperforming in some way
Its not underperforming, its probably close to where it should be, its overperforming by an insignificant margin in STR at highspeed and high alt compared to the SAC however.
and anyways, where is visual evidence of harrier pulling the aoa? wouldnt be surprised if it was just a harrier marketing gimmick or puffing up RN capabilities

Harrier missing extreme amounts of AOA and low speed control // Gaijin.net // Issues
All the sources are there straight from the American USMC manual.
its FM is only overperforming cause of slats at wrong speeds RN but its radar is heavily nerfed compared to IRL the AWG-9 Is weaker than AN/APG-59 on F4J

I didn’t mean to say it was underperforming in that sense. I was comparing it to other planes overperforming. I like the F-14 FM. I think it’s great. What’s not great is the F-16A pulling 40 degrees of AoA at 150kph and the Eurofighter completely bypassing it’s confirmed AoA limit of 24.

you just cant say that F-14 is overperforming in FM just due to lack of auto-flaps… and overall bad modelling

so it is only really good at insanely low airspeeds or bleeding all its energy in a tvc turn?
It could do this up to 300 knots lol, and the loss of speed with the use of VIFF nozzle biting is minimal, in-fact the use of 15-20 degree nozzle angles actually allowed the Harrier to sustain turns greater than what the wing would be able to give in ITR.
The way a lot of people understand VIFF is very misguided, and in fact VIFFing does not exist in War Thunder as it doesn’t effect the jets flight characteristics at all like the real thing.
Completely agree with you here, the F-16 can pretty much beat the Hornet in a nose to nose fight and it absolutely should not.

If you have a better comparison please send it. I’ve advocated for harrier maneuverability buffs before and I still do but it doesn’t look close.
