The plane takes too much time to just point to another direction. Its not just slow its painfully slow maybe even the slowest in the game.
How can I fly this plane when I have to hit the break every time it gets to surviving level of speed just to make a turn or go up while 5 rockets are behind me.
The f15 which is supposedly the opposite of the 16 but works the exact same way. Maybe even is better because it has thrust that can somewhat compensate for the lost speed.
f14 doesn’t have this problem at all.
f16 takes too much time to slowdown and too much time to speed up on top of that.

The F-16C wasn’t exactly known for its nose-pointing capability like the F-18 Hornet for example was.

The F-16 does not specialize in instantaneous turn rate. Why do you expect it to.
Doesn’t it currently do this because of AoA limits? I know Hornets do very well but it does come with bad energy retention.
