Balance issues! Thread - Vector Thrust

(I'm sorry if this is in the wrong subforum: if you wish for it to be elsewhere, them, move it.)

Basically, exactly what it says on the tin. Report imbalances, historical or gameplay.

In that case, I'll report a few myself.

A-10 is even LESS maneuverable then it ever was IRL. Why can't it turn? (At least it turns better than Hopeless Diamond - but that was never able to turn anyway)

F-22 and Su-35 are skewed. I guarantee you, equally skilled pilots of both, the Su-35 would win in a duel.

For some reason, I think the stealth is a bit too overpowered that on some occasion I encountered stealth fighter (P.125 ECR, I think) that goes totally invisible from radar for an entire match, even when I able to visually spot/track it.

I'm pretty sure that's how it would go in real life. F-22 (assuming we're not talkinhg about F-22V) isn't much of a dogfighter, it only has synchronic TVS that was designed to allow it to keep the same level of agility on supersonic speeds, that it has at subsonic. This is due to the fact that F-22 is designed to pick off targets at BVR and the biggest threat to it is long-range missiles. Increased supersonic agility is supposed to help avoiding those.

Su-35, on the other hand, has better TVS and better airframe. And it's designed to have complete superiority at dogfight. Not to mention the fact that it was introduced long after F-22 entered service, which means that it's designed to counter F-22's advantages.

And I think I'll stop killing catgirls now.
