Nah komrad you need to leak classified documents for that to happen
YES BMPT NERF!
I wasn’t expecting the bug report on the Flankers to be only 17 days old, considering Abrams reports have been ignored for 2 years now. The Gaijin situation is crazy.

My av-8b na turns quite well, I was keeping up with an F-5E and then I did this neat trick where I went into hover mode and he couldn’t turn in enough then he ate an Aim-9L
And they are underperforming like crazy.
There is a reason why IRL the Sea Harrier FRS1 absolutely destroyed F-5Es in 1v1 dogfights but in-game its the reverse.

Harrier 1s =/= Harrier IIs.
Harrier 1s should probably perform more like the Harrier IIs do, and the Harrier IIs should perform even better.
F-5s have 2-3 deg/sec too much STR. Harriers have 2-3 deg/sec too little. They should litereally swap their current STRs. This is also not factoring the fact that VIFF actually isnt modeled. It doesnt actually do 99% of what it should due to game limitations.
The F-5 eating a 9L though shows a clear skill issue on the part of the F-5. That should have been an easy 1 flare defeat

Ooh now the insults?
I wish you had shown some of this love to the MiG-29 as well. You know, it essentially being a miniaturized Flanker and all.
The change was based on Su-27SK manuals
Not Mig-29 manuals which say it is fine
I hate having the spike on the Namer or the MMP on the jaguar standing in the air all the time… The protective box is just there… They could animate it by just pressing the laser button kinnd of like the bradley
