correct as-is F-16 performance in dogfight

I read somewhere that disabling the auto flaps for certain maneuvers will help with energy retention. Dunno if there are nuances here. The F-5 was the second module I got. Not satisfying. It doesn't maneuver as much as it simply increases angle of attack.

Back on subject, I found it easy to exploit the F-5's weaknesses with the F-16C.

I know about flaps, this ain't it. Yes, raising flaps will decrease drag, but also turn performance. The AI both turns like crazy and keeps the speed up.

Sure, I can kill the F-5 easily in the F-18 too... but try it in an airplane of similar performance.

The sidewinder refuses to track most targets with dual flare dispensers, especially helicopters

That doesn't really matter, because it takes about 5 of them to kill the average AI helicopter anyway...

This. Had one eating my complete AA loadout and continue flying.

Folks we are getting off topic now. 

As always if you think there is an issue please create a bug report with track replays and any evidence to support the claim. 

thank you
