I love both the F-22 AND the Su-27.Both have distinct advantages and disadvantages against each other.I am sure the F-22 is capable of a lot more than we know, but in that video, it barely matched, let alone "destroyed" anything.No where near what a lot of videos of the Su-27 show :megalol:
I didn't read through a lot of these pages, but as for which is better, who knows.Like anything else, it would all come down to pilot skill, and who see's who first.(That part gives the 22 a very large advantage, but it never guarantees a win)I don't see the use of Cobra's and slow high AoA maneuvers in combat though.Perhaps I am wrong but it seems energy is life in a dogfight...And from what I have seen the Cobra and similar moves, leave you slow and exposed...So if the two ever met close in in real life(hopefully they never do),I doubt we'd see either using these sorts of maneuvers.Maybe I'm wrong though, :huh: Not like I'm an expert:smartass: :doh:
