Of the vehicles that are underperforming I think the Chinese flankers will be some of the worst offenders once new models with improved engines and better radars come.
wdym?
There is little data on them, so they will perform simply as well as the Russian planes or maybe a bit worse.
I got classified documents proving that the fa 18 overperforms a lot… cannot share it though obviously. Hopefully gaijin knows this and will nerf when the hype dies down as they usually does.
Maybe youre just mistaking words or idk
Because in fact it underperforns in STR.
It’s strength is low speed AOA no?
It is but not as seen in game lol
in fact it does.18± deg/s instead of 19.2 on 60% fuel 2amraam 2sidewinder
What source do you have that claims 19.2 all the sources I have seen claim 18 or so and therefore its correct.
one of US reports.
gaijin can say a lot of stuff to be incorrect, even if its not wrong…
it is.
Now granted
It seems to be an unclassified report
Would they put turn performance in an unclassified report like that?
Could it be to feed false information to other countries? Possible …

Bro it is talking about how it will be expensive to only get a marginal improvement.
It gives turn performance for both F-18C and F-18E … Which is kinda sus NGL
Though at the same time, it is kind of a stretch to go through all this just to make the Russians think it turns a few degrees better or worse … All in all, hard to say …
then it’s even better than russian spies.
The F-18C with its AOA flap set will experience divergent rolling motion when pulled at 16.5 degrees AOA at .85 Mach this means it would be really hard to control and would likely auto roll and flip out of control.
Let me test the in game one. It gets stopped to a 12 G limiter
How about this lovely page from the unclassified 1983 flight manual
The AV-8A has better instantaneous G allowance than the F-18
And at just 35 degrees AOA the bank angle becomes uncontrollable and the plane could lose control.

This is only good for 18A. At least pitch control is good up to 45 degrees
