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.

yeah and when a F14 stalls you can recover it (excluding the A model cause of compressor stalls)

Go to the harrier thread to complain about the harrier

There is a thing called irrecoverable flat spin

And like the name suggests, you can’t recover from them

yeah if your damaged yeah you’ll enter one of those

The F-14 doesn’t have those if it’s undamaged. Especially the later models with DFCS. If it has the altitude it can recover.

Doesn’t work. Why have the feature at all if they can just go into full real?

no

btw
didnt a lot of planes, that got cobra-button, got changes in their stability?
If yes, maybe thats reason why gaijin doesnt want to give it to tomcat?

We’re aware…

yeah. every plane that got the aoa button became less stable and easier to flattspin
