@DeezDucks The J-20 has some serious RCS issues, though. Example: canards: these state their appearance in the same way as the next. The engines: they sounds intoxicating, but are by no means quiet.
@DeezDucks because of that you can recover the aircraft and accelerate again as it has Vertical thrust capabilities. ( more that 1 on the Power-to-Weight ratio )
@DeezDucks On the "pilot didn't prepare" scenario the plane could lose energy, but the TVC doesn't care if you stay at the same throttle level. The faster you go, the less and less airolons do because of pressure on them, and at low speed there's isn't enough air over them. So TVC is a major part of its maneuvering capability.
@DeezDucks I recognize that most Air-to-Air conflicts are BVR, and WVR are very rare. Despite that, Even 2D Vectoring can help with dodging missiles, which is always important. In war games, it's not entirely accurate as if you get a prolonged lock that is considered a kill. There for Raptors could survive against multiple missiles as long as it could out maneuver them. Eurofighters and F-16 are a couple examples of highly maneuverable, non TVC aircraft. they are meant to be unstable and that's why they are so agile. TVC helps the manueverability on the aircraft without making it unstable.
What I don't understand is what you mean by the aircraft's "vulnerability" from the TVC. It helps get it to a higher AoA and gives it more agility. Yes it loses energy, but it does not make it " weaker " in any real aspect.
@t8erh8er nah I'm in the hillbilly cities of kentucky. I'm going into high school before I even complete middle school. My dad wanted me to go, so I did.
@DeezDucks if you want to talk about energy loss, look at Russia's TVC aircraft. The PAK FA is a great example. I don't believe that the Raptor is put into "vulnerable" situations when using it's vectoring. There are official notes of test dogfights between 5 F-15s and in another 4 F-16s, and the F/A-22 came out on top. ( And that was the pre-production ) Even in a test with 8 Eagles and 2 Raptors, it still won. See what I mean about it's "vulnerability"?
Happy Birthday m8

@DeezDucks I guess we'll wait for the PAK FA, J-20, and J-31 to let us find out.

@LukeDaDuke flat bottom produces the least manueverability.
@t8erh8er nah I'm in the hillbilly cities of kentucky. I'm going into high school before I even complete middle school. My dad wanted me to go, so I did.
@LukeDaDuke flat bottom=max lift semi symmetrical = lift, moderate ability symmetrical = max manueverability and good for inverted flight.
@t8erh8er and I'm skipping 7th into a preparation year...Thanks for the info, I guess.
@Zandgard like seriously, this is insanely good.
@Bluerobot11 Eurofigthers keep a bisected inlet below the cockpit and have 2 engines.
@MechWARRIOR57 I'm still stuck on my friend's 360 playing BO2.
@realluochen9999 xD I'm dying!
@Sauce reminds me of this
@MechWARRIOR57 want that game so bad!
B-52.
@FlyingThings YAZ ITH IZ BOII

This is twice the length of the Tiny! It's roughly the size of the Beast!
no words
ITZ DA MEENIN OV LIFF
I wanted it a while back. :)
Happy Birthday!!!
@PositiveAnion I understand how it works. There are ways of using airbrakes at 90° angles that I have found that will initiate a stall.
Well at least it's not a rick.
@PositiveAnion I stalled an F/A-18E/F Super Hornet over the USS Beast on a failed landing just by flying to slow. It was kind of nose heavy. ( a lot )
@mushr0om can you post a link?
@BirdOfSteel okay.
Well, this is nostalgic.
And....now you're there!
@Gemista Words of wisdom by the words of wisdom
Wow!
Memes need an addition! And Android support!
@SkullsAndCrossbones originally it was like a P-38, then I ruined it.
@melojam no I did it's three JSFs and one breaks off and drops it's cockpit into an empty hull of a Lamborghini Egoista.
@melojam same I suck at doing things like that gg m8
@BACconcordepilot it's so ugly...
@Gemista same here.
@FlyingThings xD!!!
@AdrianFlyingAce I can do that to, at 0.005 Frames Per Second.
@Gemista you get used to it. I don't really mind, I like the rain anyway.
@Visify Super Destroyer: take SAM launchers and put them on a Destroyer! Put like 20!
@Gemista Kentucky weather in a nutshell- 75° one day, 38° and storming the next!
I'm currently in a thunderstorm! On Easter!
@RAF1 Nostalgic Fortresss!?!?! xD
@Fallenfreedomfighters I used the weapons mod and this plane to do it.
You're reminding me of Ace Combat 6!
It's Kubona Communist airlines!
@Dllama4 I completely forgot about the AR-15!
