Ah ok I didnt play sim for a while now
What’s your dc?
His discord server is on his yt, search up “squishface wt” on yt
Though who knows if borders are open rn
Where’s this performance then?
I should be able to pull any AOA I want even at higher speeds. The harrier 1 should be able to point like the flanker.
Harrier doesn’t even experience heavy buffeting at 40 degrees AOA meaning very very little induced drag.
I should be able to fly in a straight line and drop 100 knots airspeed in just 3 seconds by pointing the nozzles forward. Can’t do that in game.
Using 60 degrees of nozzle angle should allow me to just about match the ITR of the F-16. Can’t do that in game.

You have got the sources. And claim to have an understanding of them. Go bug report it and surely it won’t go to purgatory.
Surely the Harrier is the turbo dogfight mobile you claim it is and surely there are no drawbacks…like the modern ones not being able to fire the gun while thrust vectoring.

I have and like I told you gaijin doesn’t listen nor do they care.
In their own source they used as a reason to not a bug my report it also claimed a higher lift CL then in game.
They literally didn’t even read their own source.
I showed them a E-M diagram for it and they just said nah we don’t think it can sustain said G.

Anyways back to talking about top tier.
99 percent bug reports on air frames get stuck on accepted cause gaijin is lazy
It is what it is atp

Yes it’s ridiculous honestly. I’ve even got documents from old AV-8A pilots that don’t even exist in most archives as they were destroyed when retiring the type.
To turn down all these reports shows more than laziness imo but they genuinely do not like the harrier.
It can’t even match several of its irl world records.

Mhmm, it’s getting frustrating when people just refuse to believe a plane is capable of what it is capable of.

I would like the DCS flight model more. 25AOA limit and can die in the one circle to russian planes. Instead the 45AOA f16A just wins.

It also loses the 2 circle irl. Its sustained G is less than both the F-15A and Flanker.
You can fly it in Damping and have 25 AoA limit. Guess what? It will still blow MiG-29 out of the water regardless of circumstances.

Got any proof of this?
There are no publicly available bleed rate figures for either Su-27 or F-16. Both planes have sustained turn rate values of just over 14 degrees per second at around 15,000 feet.
I have a pc too lol.
Not only do I prefer my console, but I don’t act like an elitist,
If the game detects an Hotas or Vr headset it puts you in lobbies with people of the same items. Simple as can be.
Comparing this chart to the Su-27 turn rate chart shows the F-16 having a superior turn rate by about 1/2-3/4 degrees per second.

If you want to go off of sustained G values 15,000 feet is like 4500 ish meters at 5000 meters the Flanker with missiles will sustain 7.5G that’s the highest sustained load value.
F-16A clean at just 15,000 feet (500 meters lower) will only sustain around 6G at the max sustained load factor.
In pure power alone the F-16 is worse for sustained turns.
Here’s even the F-15A that sustains more
This is an apples to oranges comparison. The chart you are using to represent the F-16 is loaded with approximately 80% fuel while the Su-27 is loaded with 25% fuel. The F-15A/C comparison you are making is also at 50% fuel.
Su-27 is 50% fuel
And the flanker carries an absolute boat load of fuel so the afterburning time is probably equal.
Chart also says 50% fuel on the flanker
