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.

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?
