It’s not technically wrong to be on the F-15A-E, as it is possible to do and the airframe can actually take advantage of the increased AoA.
It’s just kind of jank from a technical standpoint, to the point that the joke is the system is so overwhelmingly complex the engineer who designed it drove himself to self delete.

For those aircraft that can make the most benefit of that yes.
Exactly that, as an aircraft that benefits from it.

Basically all planes could get the AOA override? Or are you trying to say the planes that do get it are just the favorites.

Well the F-14 can pull just over 90 degrees of AoA without doing any of that seesaw stuff to get it there. The F-15 and Gripen cannot (infact getting to 90 is a struggle for them). So speaking with the most benefit, the F-14 should have it and maybe the Gripen and F-15 shouldn’t…
Sure you could say it benefits from it, but it’s also not a modern or fly-by-wire aircraft like you said the feature was for.

Unfortunately buffet exists and this is not true, however the F-14 could pull respectable AOA.
The aircraft is a high AoA Modern aircraft, as I said:
Draken is precisely the type of aircraft the feature was intended for.
?? I have a video of me pulling 90 degree AoA.
The Harrier Jump jet IRL can easily turn inside of the F-14 yet its terrible in game its limited to 16 degrees AOA vs the 40 it can pull IRL before even reaching buffet but that wont be changed.
IRL I don’t think you’ve flown an F-14.
What in the world does that have to do with the F-14.
You mentioned Devs favorite. I just made a comment how this will likely be a pointless battle.
I don’t really care frankly.
Ingame smart alec.
good thing they have AIM-54’s that IRL werent held back by exaggerated MP ingame, and IRL could pull over 24g

So what about my main point…

I have answered you on this matter several times. Sadly the answer is not going to change just by changing the question a little:
Currently there are several aircraft (F-14, Tornado F.3 and some others) that have this feature IRL but do not currently in game. As unlike the other aircraft that already have it, it would lead to a far more unstable flight model with very little beneficial gain to gameplay.

Not giving it the feature while others get it feels less like balance and more like selective restriction. All we’re asking for is consistent treatment and a bit of respect for what the jet could actually do.
I would like you explain how the F-14 becomes unstable to the point it’s not viable to be added compared to any other plane that already has it. Because if gameplay is the reason, the F-14 actually benefits more than some, given its high AoA capabilities. I haven’t experience this lack of stability at all compared to other planes at similar flight regimes while using the button.
And if the concern is people getting killed because they used the button, having full real controls lock you into a bad camera angle and having the delay in maneuvering from swapping through all the different control profiles gets me killed a lot more than being able to clearly pull AoA with mouse aim.

AMRAAM says what?
Aim-54C+ launched from a supersonic platform going Mach 5 pulling 25G from 2x outside the AMRAAM’s range that doesn’t care about countermeasures or jamming says what?
