POLL for TORNADO and F14 AOA BUTTON

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.

a man in a suit stands on top of a building with the words my source is that i made it the fuck up

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?

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

she still uses cables im pretty sure on some things as shes the first 4TH gen fighter has ZERO reason to be facing EF2000s her main opponnet would have been early gen mig29s and su27s which she does very good against

I think if you turned on AoA mode on a tornado it would just turn into a dumb bomb lol. F14 should probably get it though, weird that it technically has it but forces use to use inverted control scheme and joystick.

I think ive crashed in the tornado more than any other plane it amazes me how much of a brick this thing is even without bombs.
