Hi, Recently I read from a F-35 report saying that F-35 could use a turning technique called "pedal turn" to sustain an astonishing 28 degree/second and this technique has been proven useful in DACT. Pilots describe it to be an abrupt pedal input under high AOA. I wonder could you do this maneuver in this game? What is the speed loss/altitude loss?

After reading all these posts I still have no idea what "vertical press" really means. Could some one give a more intuitive explanation?

It's weird that the AI su-35 was using a cobra like maneuver at the beginning. You quicly gained an upper hand because he lost too much energy?

It's amazing that you don't need to go after burner (or even half throttle) to turn inside a Su-35 and keep following him.

Well I am not sure whether the F-16 model in the "real sim" is high fidelity, but some fans have timed multiple airshow videos and found out that in a 360 horizontal turn a Viper (block 40 or 50) spends at least 5 seconds less than a FC-1. F-16 used to finish a 360 turn in 14-15 seconds, and finish a 720 turn in 33 seconds, while a FC-1 finish a 360 turn in more than 20 seconds then it takes forever to accelerate.

Haha how about trying F-35 vs Su35bm, lets see how u use it's low speed maneuverability to counter Su-35's thrust vectoring

Seems in that game the Su-35 bleeds energy faster than a old flanker despite its higher T/W ratio. Do you think the Non-EPE bug could out turn a Su-35 in an energy circle?

Has any one tried a F-18E (Non EPE) vs Su-27 or T-50? That would be interesting. Eric has done that against a Su-30MKI in 2011, but still lacks detail in his report. Also F-18e VS f-35a would be interesting because both excel in low speed turning and sucks at transonic acceleration.

Well I guess the block 42 is pretty underpowered since it's a F-16C airframe+F-16A engine. Other blocks are good energy fighters though. But according to this article, block 42s in US fleet have got engine upgrade since 2002. I am not sure if the upgrade is implemented in the game. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/air-national-guard-re-engining-block-42-f-16s-lockheed-martin-expedites-kits-to-meet-deployment-schedule-76538987.html

Which block is F-16CM?

Can anyone make a : 1) F/A-18E(no EPE) vs Su-27 2) F/A-18E(no EPE) vs Mig-29 I'd like to see how a high alpha jet hold its own against a jet with higer T/W

Can somebody play a F-16C block50 vs something? (Su-27, Mig-29, F-14, F-15, J-10, J-31...)

2 Wishes: 1) Make a F-16C block50 vs Su-27 battle, or F-16C block50 vs F-14B battle 2) You have made enough DACT in F-14A against XYZ, PLEASE change to something other than F-14A. It's becoming boring like this .
