Idk about the JF-17 but the F-16 already doesn’t have it’s AoA limiter. It’s built in to it’s performance already. It should have one, but it doesn’t. It’s AoA limiter cannot be disabled. So as of right now, it’s overperforming.
Where did they say that? Smin/Gunjob stated that some aircrafts got it and some aircrafts don’t, and its not based on anything besides developers’ discretion.
Whether or not they did IRL wasn’t the basis for the current aircrafts receiving them. It’s arbitrary.

I don’t know what type of insane person voted “no” to something which is entirely positive as an addition but reconsider, it’s like saying some aircraft simply shouldn’t receive flaps as it makes the aircraft uncontrollable at certain speeds (looking at you SU-27).
If they did have the override feature irl then they SHOULD have it in-game, performance impact whether it’s positive or negative DOESN’T MATTER in the face of historical accuracy.
I honestly don’t know where you’ve gotten this information from, both the Tornado and F-14A/B had them irl iirc.

My stance is simple.
If they had an option to manual override of AOA IRL, and you guys have a proper source of it, YES.
No? Then no.
I know that Tonka had it IRL, but I’m unsure about F-14, as long as I’m not cultured enough about American jets.
I mean, everyone loves Top Gun, but not everyone enlists or googles about F-14’s manual after watching those movies. right?
Thanks for that

Every plane in game has the AoA button technically, im pretty sure this button just makes it signicantly more user friendly to pull off, and you retain mouse aim control scheme instead of annoying/hard to use realistic mouse joystick controls. Which are forced to be inverted if you want to keep regular mouse aim logic, and you have to cycle through multiple control schemes to get there instead of 1 button.

Which is why if they’re going to already limit what should be a universal feature to everyone, they should at least have the common sense to add it to every plane that could allow for it.

Can forum members make the polls public so people can see what each other voted for? I’d like to see what kind of people voted no for… research purposes.

you can, but that would reset the pool
Darn. Might as well keep it how it is. Next time I’ll know.
Thanks.
Personally, I don’t find the AoA button to be any kind of a boon. Having tried it in multiple aircraft that have it I find that if anything it just gets you killed quicker in dogfights due to how quickly it kills your speed and energy even with a single turn. Not to mention that in a furball it’s just a death sentence.
Additionally, I don’t remember if either the Tornado or Tomcat had it IRL. If they didn’t have it there’s no reason nor need to implement it. Simple as.
welp, I guess I’ve been outdone here. Gonna have to vote yes if it had the override irl.
Read the thread. They had it.

still waiting in big 25 maybe F14D will recieve one
F-14 is a hydraulic jet afaik
all the AOA button does is turn off aoa limter for highspeed which is on all the time it allows more pull the lower speed you are its highspeed would remain the same as the plane cannot pull more than 7.5 G which is average for its era it just allows elvators to deflect fully at low speed
it disengages YAW AXIS SAS allowing more pull at low speed it will not make you turn harder past mach
