@iFlyAircraft I believe the turn ratio difference was implemented to balance the F35 having the capability to hover: actual hover flight mode and nonexistent stall speed

@PhantomPinoy I'd argue this decision is one of poor design and not one of balance, any Jet designer would know how much of a difference giving another faction's Jet better maneuverability over the other would directly imbalance gameplay. And if the designers actually used the Hover, they'd know how pointless it is. The hover mode is literally "let me shoot at the ants and miss every single one of my shots because the guns don't align with my reticle and/or because my guns are pea shooters against the ants".

    @S3SSioN_SoL Exactly. As was pointed out above, the F35s VTOL ability is merely a gimmick and does nothing to provide any sort of reliably functional ACM advantage, over the Felon. Any advantage VTOL provides in ACM, is strictly situational and mostly limited to making new, or incompetent pilots feel silly when they fly past you. But against a competent veteran pilot flying a Felon, VTOL is almost always and instant death sentence.

      If only the Felon wouldn't be able to slow down sow much mid flight it wouldn't be so bad.
