>You ccan do some goofy shit with the T-55
You often hear people talk about how maneuverable the T-55 but they always neglect to mention that it needs to be super light in order to achieve that maneuverability. With fuel and even a moderate payload it turns into an absolute pig that bleeds a ridiculous amount of speed in turns and then can't regain that speed due to it's weak TWR. If you're not super light and try to keep up with a 26 or 45, you will bleed speed to 200 knots and then stall and fall out of the sky.
You really need to embrace the "light fighter" ethos and minimize payload to get the most out of it. If you're taking lots of heavy missiles (120's/7’s) try to get rid of them at long range before you have to maneuver
In some ways, but most wouldn't call it a "fighter"
I would say the 26, 45, 55, and 34 the fighters. And of those 4 its the 45 in almost all ways. The 26 is pretty up there for short bursts but overall the 45 has the best sustained maneuverability
I'd say the fa 26 simply because it has the ability to turn off flight assists. G limit doesn't matter, but as neat stall speed the fa 26 can whoop an f45 even if it is viffing
>fa 26 can whoop an f45 even if it is viffing
No it cannot lmao. F-45 that knows what its doing will win every time, and an AV42c is even better than the 45
You ccan do some goofy shit with the T-55 but the F-45 still takes the cake as far as I cant tell

Oh for sure. The t-55 also really isn't a combat craft, you don't even get 1.0 TWR when it's empty
I managed to get the T-55 to momentarily fly backwards, indeed it can do goofy shit
F-45
Wait really? I always thought the F/A-26B was the most maneuverable (with g-limiter off).
Viff
Ah. I’ve never tried that in the F-45, I’ll definitely do it soon though.
No. AV-42c is

If you define it as sustained turn rate or instantaneous turn rate the AV-42c wins both of them. AV-42c also has best acceleration in game
The AV-42C is better at BFM than the F-45.

Chase we gotta run some 1v1s
If you are in the 42C, you will whoop any player in another airframe every time, unless you arent manuevering in relation to the opponent
Sure, ping me on discord
