There is a thing called irrecoverable flat spin

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

1618

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

1619

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

1631

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?

1632

We’re aware…

1633

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

Yes. Every plane that for the button got buffs to their low speed characteristics to reflect that. Especially the MiG-29.

That would be even more of a reason, since their concerns about stability they could just fix.

1636

no it were nerfs, they all became less stable

1637

Nice. Around the 2:20 mark it does some real nice maneuvers.
