correct as is Hornet stalls when vertical

[TimRobertsen]

Could always try the Huey, it's pretty good at vertical take-offs:p

What I'm confused on is how there are youtube videos of F18s (Including Canadian jets to prove they aren't super hornets) climbing vertically up past 30000' without stalling or slowing, whereas in the game I seem to loose speed far before reaching that kind of altitude. 

 

Interested to see these videos if you have the links handy, I did a quick youtube search, and haven't found anything that unambiguously shows altitude, pitch, airspeed, etc.

Not sure how high he got.

Not a vertical climb.

How can you tell?

[EnzoF98]

Doesn't really matter. It's not 30k ft and it's not a video of a real (Canadian) Hornet, which is what @Jonnylap1's original claim is.

OP talked about not being able to do steep climbs. That's why I showed it.
