Which one is better?

EW is highly classified

Ok

Wonder which is more classified:

F-22 flight manual or current EW suites.

Can someone tell me if this guy is right or wrong about F-16?

Go check for yourself clean F-16A with about 75% internal fuel.

And the AOA limit of the F-16 is 25 degrees AOA exceeding that should be impossible.

At 25 degrees AOA the F-16 actually generates more G than this chart shows meaning the F-16 generates too much lift as is.

Correct me if i am wrong but F-16A ingame is F-16 block 10 and F-16ADF is F-16 block 15 which is heavier F-16A with same engine. The graph you posted is about F-16 block 15. So should i check that with ADF or with A?

well part of the F-22 manual was publicly released

(not a f-22 flight manual, but rather a pilot training manual from the looks of it)

It’s hilarious that I can scissor with it at 40+ degrees AOA with my hotas.
