I can confirm that the G-onset rate (aka pitch rate)of the F-16C has been noticably reduced, it was a lot more responsive before. Not sure why this was done, and I'm not gonna lie, kinda feels like 1 step forward and then 2 steps back.

A JA37 would be amazing

It's during high AoA in hard turns, not level flight, that I noticed a lot of wing rock when attempting to apply small corrections in roll / bank angle using rudder only (didn't apply any lateral stick). That's what I don't recall being the case last I flew a little over a year ago.

It's more the EF (and Rafale) figure Im wondering about, as it goes against the statements of the pilots who have flown both (EF & F16). Not knowing the exact load outs is also problematic.

Who's the source of the picture? That the F-16 Block 60 is rated better than both the EF and Rafale in STR on that list is a bit perculiar, even when considering the upgraded F110-GE-132 powerplant (144 kN vs 131 kN of -129)

I agree, as fun as the jokes and stuff were in the beginning, they do become unnecessary distractions in the long run. A way to limit his vocals to vitals only would be nice.

Odd that such a rather drastic change was added so late. Based on what Ive read, you should be able to roll at high AoA without wobble when using rudder.

Well the above comments above indicated they hadn't

Finally got back to flying in DCS after a long hiatus, and noticed something different about the F14 right away. Specifically it seems a lot more wobbly when maneuvering at higher than 15 units AoA, eventhough Im only using rudder for roll here and not applying any side stick movement. I recall previously being able to roll without wobble at high AoA when using just rudder. To me this is a big change to the FM, and it strikes me as odd to come so late. Was it really all wrong before and is it supposed to handle this poorly at high AoA when using just rudder for roll? Asking as it appears borderline pointless to try maneuvering at high AoA atm due to the unavoidable wobble.

Did you guys not read this?: EF is going to beat the F-16C in BFM at any altitude.

@Aerges Devs Do you have available the real aircraft's EM charts to tune kinematic aspects of the FM with, or are you forced to extrapolate/estimate here? Just curious

Excited to hear about a change here, as the 19 felt way too stiff in pitch last I tested it. So really looking forward to trying her out again once I get back to flying

F4S imo, although I'd really like the J too.

The 54A Mk.60 goes over 500+ knots faster when launched from 33 kft at a co-alt target 80 nm away for me. Resulting in a speed of 1500 KTAS (Mk47 C) vs 2000 KTAS (Mk60 A) once withing 10 nm of the bogey. That's pretty extreme. Also noticed that the missile will go into a super high lofting arc even against targets at relatively close range of <20nm.

Ok, that's good to know. 10% can afterall be crucial in a dogfight, as it can amount to several deg/sec in turn rate.
