You have now made (at least, by my count) three posts critical of the F-16. We get it, you don’t like it.

But as to your specific points:

  1. The Asobo F/A-18 has NO external stores options. None. Not even drop tanks. That’s absurd for a short-range, tactical military aircraft.
  2. The Asobo F/A-18 has a ridiculous keybind for afterburner, requiring those of us with HOTAS controls to either re-purpose an existing button and create a custom controller profile, or else go hands-off and use the keyboard.
  3. “On rails”? Do you understand fly-by-wire control systems? Have you actually FLOWN both aircraft one after the other? Both are pretty “on rails” compared to, say, the DC Designs F-14/15 (which are not FBW) or any older warbird in the sim. That’s what FBW pretty much IS, by nature.
