they need to add thrust vectoring animation for real

I am out of likes… The Jet is the best meta fighter imo. However it is less maneuverable definitely from dev. I am sad about that over the radar.

Today I learned they can limit AoA without the Instructor based on speed.

Still, invisibile missiles is a bigger advantage than R-73s in ground RB/SIM

Did the gripen get it’s FM or does it still pull 20G sustained

i do not have it, so i cannot comment about it. I have the F-15J and SU-27 only from the new patch.

Well ok, I’ll believe you and what they told you on TV.

It was nerfed to a measly 13G sustained

There isn’t a world where the SMT is inferior to the F-4E in any regard…

I can literally beat a smt in a 1 circle with a stock f15J no crew. Only thing that can possibly save him is his HMD. Wild af.

I it so much harder now any supermaneuverable moves in a dogfight because you have to be way to slow in the Flanker its no longer feasible

SMT is aids to play, near impossible to spade now.

I got into a dogfight with a F-16C and I no longer have any advantage to use high alpha because I must be dead slow for the invisible wall they put in to let me do it.

Yes, in full real controls. You are literally blocked from pulling alpha at 700km and above.

So when the jet finally allows you to pull the alpha. You immediately stall and are in a recovery effort. Completely defeating what the Su27 can do.

You what do you mean by high alpha? You are not trying to do cobra right?

The F4E has better nose reflex ability. You can swing the nose very easily in all directions. As the SMT you must gain momentum as if swinging a large bat around.

The F4E has a superior lift over the SMT and that quick snap shot nose control.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

the jet no longer lets you dynamic decelerate aka “cobra” efficiently.

Pretty much. And after this update the R-73 are hard to effectively use due to the amount of flares and missiles being spammed everywhere. Not to mention the constant clusterfuck of a furball. Only the radar and 2x ERs are good, and well, you know everyone has finally learned to hug the deck.

Yeah I am kinda pissed.

They modelled the Su27 Dynamic attainment aka “Supermaneuvrability” of 60-90 degree+ alpha perfectly on the dev server.

It was at the legitimate speeds 900km+ (559mph) Supermaneuvrability/dynamic attainment takes place specifically at “high subsonic” speeds.

They completely gutted it and now you must be at around 700km (434 mph) or lower. So, the second you pull those angles of attack you are immediately in a deep stall which completely defeating what supermaneuvrability is and any tactical advantage it had.

Gonna run test and record.
