Impossible Flight Characteristics/pitch angle at low speed

[Guppy]

Mission: Caucasus 1v1 Guns

 

After defeating the MIG I decided to do some additional maneuvers. What you'll see in this track is me at full burner at a ridiculous pitch angle (70?) flying at 52 knots and holding my altitude completely stable. I have the stick completely into my gut during the duration - you'll see me finally roll out of it near the end.

Did you guys watch the track"? You should watch the track before you think it’s acceptable.

The Hornet is capable of extremely high Alpha flight. Just because you don't see it done at airshows doesn't mean its not possible. It just maybe so close to the edge of the envelope no one does it. When you are the pilot and have the chance of dying or trashing a multi million dollar A/C you think twice about alot of stuff we do in sims.

 

Nasa used the F18 to test high AoA flight for years. They tested it to at least 55 Degrees AoA.

Once you have better then 1:1 Thrust the wings are there to be turning vanes for the turbines haha.

Oh 100% I do not disagree with your statements. I'm just saying, the flight characteristics of this particular track seem way off. I could be wrong, totally okay, too. I just want to make sure the devs review and tweak if needed.
