It’s not fair and never will be. The F16 is a digitally designed airfoil supported by a Fly-by-wire supercomputer. No pilot’s brain can calculate the precise angle of attack to maintain the optimal airspeed in a dogfight.
Flying the F16 is literally cheating and many Israeli pilots (greatest supersonic ace of all time) even stated you are not flying the F-16. You are telling it what to do.
Hopefully boat blog today.
By that I mean, any of the following:
-Any sub
-Any carrier
-Any seaplane tender
-Any long range missile destroyer
-Convair F2Y (test versions flew without weapons, production version was supposed to have weapons, just like the Yak 141)
doubt it
october update is to small for a new carrier mechanic
eh no idea what that means
hopefuly at least not russians, they got their missle launcher last update
well seems intresting, but not sure if it is the first choice between all the missing US planes
War Thunder has this for every aircraft if you enable mouse aim basically.
Yes, but they are all different. GJ has emulated the FBW to the best of their ability and did a great job imo. That is why I can fly circles all day in the Blk 50 & stay G-locked and lose little speed. Placing the same artificial “hand holding” on the Mig29 would be wrong as it’s a fighter reliant solely on the pilot’s own skill and should be that way.
It’s just held back in areas already mentioned and why it does not perform where it should.
Its really not. Players keep trying to rate fight a jet that was designed to not lose energy when GJ gave the Mig29 the best missiles, so they do not have to.
The M2K is supported by a great FBW but it cannot rate with the F16. Does really good though. It will always be hindered by its delta configuration. Dassault stuck with the delta as it has its benefits the F16 does not. Extremely aerodynamic and lighter not requiring an insanely high thrust heavy engine & amazing straight line speed performance. Also, higher alpha performance. But rate performance goes to the traditional winged tail design of the F16.
Oh, and delta winged fighters are physically stronger too. Longer service life.
that would be good
or Gnat/Alpha jet
Whether they modeled FBW in or not, you still don’t fly the aircraft, you tell it what to do with mouse aim. It’s basically an auto pilot where you select heading and pitch with the input being your mouse rather than dial knobs on a regular autopilot.
Atleast, flying under auto pilot are valid flying hours but this is in relation to the Israeli pilot considering FBW “telling your aircraft what to do”.
Laat year there was an 10 year anniversary event with the Sturmtiger as prize. 11 year anniversary sounds a bit less spectacular but still, anyone expecting another event?
i mentionned one circle, not rate fighting.
Also FBW would limit the f16 to 9 or 11G. Correct me if i’m wrong, but i think it can pull much more right now
the delta acts as a giant airbrake at high aoa, so you can bleed your speed to turn on a dime basically. Then in a one circle what’s important is staying slow, and the delta does a great job.
As you mentioned, delta struggles in 2 circles
Doubt
pain
yes
I’m not even a french main, Rafale is just a cool plane and arguably the best of the can*rd fighters. I’d love to see it.
Why, just why did you do that?
It couldn’t use Aspides.
some people have an Irrational hatred for everything with Canards
Canards are sexy, though.
Any circle depends on how good a fighters turn rate and radius is.
