Hawker Hunter's Significant overperformance is actually a hinderance. It needs a nerf

It can only sustain 6G on full burner at sea level. It bleeds speed rapidly IRL.

Id love it for my swiss cheesy hunter.

I thought so it can carry bombs on the inner pylon

bug report time then.

Absolutely its one of my favorite aircraft.

noooo dont nerf my brit UFO

It really would be more of a buff than anything.

Always felt impossible trying to slow down landing with the hunter, good that it’s being changed

Well would be nice to change it but it likely won’t be fixed.

Can’t find specific sources on the f.6 wing just the F.1 wing.

However any hunter pilot could tell you it only maintains 5G or so.

But it can sustain that at like 300 knots meaning it turns like a demon. It just bleeds off speed at high speeds in hard turn as you would expect considering at .9 Mach its drag is already equal to its thrust.
