Summarize your bug The jets do not turn the same speed in Battlefield 2042. This creates an unfair advantage between pilots who are dogfighting for the air superiority of the skies. Currently, the SU-57 turns at a rate of 7.908 seconds whereas the F-35 turns at a rate of 9.326 seconds. This is something that needs to be fixed and I am sure it will with time. I respect that this is not the most front-facing issue for the development of 2042 and I will wait patiently for it to be fixed.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Turn the Jet in a flat circle and you will notice that the F-35 gets out turned by the SU-57. The developers could also reference the coding behind the jets and see their is a speed/turn speed difference.
What happens when the bug occurs? The player in the SU-57 (Russian Team) will win the dogfight a good majority of the time because the jet turns faster in a 360-degree radius. This is obviously unfair and is usually a bug in development.
What should be happening instead? Both teams Jets should turn the same speed and have equal turning radiuses making the more skilled pilot win the dogfight

Attached is a video I spent some time working on as solid evidence that the jet vehicles are imbalanced and need to be reworked and fine tuned.

    And yet I've been able to outmaneuver several SU pilots simply by hitting the hover button, have them go past me and start chasing them. Know how to use it maybe?

    It should also be pointed out that, if you're on mouse and keyboard if you're dragging your mouse slow or fast regardless of DPI your jet will suddenly stop turning regardless of whether you're playing as the Felon or the Panther. 

    From what I can tell, you pull down as you're turning and it just seemingly stops registering and you go flat. Same happens if you push up to go down and vice versa. On top of that there is delay in which the game reacts to your mouse movement when in a helicopter or Jet. 

    These things have gotten me killed so many times, its infuriating.

    @SirBobdk urgh really? that works? I guess I can do that. Still, they should fix the mouse detection so it doesn't randomly stop you from pitching up.

    Yes they should

    You will experience a big difference with Pitch up = spacebar. Much easier and faster to turn and control the plane. Its the first rule in the air book when flying with K/M.

    @SirBobdkfunny I never felt like I needed this rule in any battlefield game until now lol

    I think i'll bind pitch down to ctrl as well.

    Regardless, thanks! helped a lot.

    Glad I could help 👍😊

    It's hard to fly with mouse only. Finding your own way to set up the keyboard to control the plane / chopper is a good idea and then use the mouse to fine tune and aim with.

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

    I don't recall seeing Jet fixes in the patch notes.

    Did DICE not fix this broken imbalance yet?
