    Two more advantages (F16 vs MIG29) and questions

    *** Posted by Julian "Tiger" Raureanu ***
    Hi RUN and thanks for answering my questions.
    About the F16 vs MIG29 answer. I think there is one more advantage for each of these two.
    The MIG29 has a HMS (Helmet Mounted Sight) which is a big advantage in a dogfight.
    The F16 has fly-by-wire system which is more easy to use than a conventional mechanical sytem which requires a lot of force from the pilot to pull the stick.(opinion)

    I would like to ask you a few questions.
    1. Are you agreed with my opinion?
    2. Can you override FLCS? I mean, can you take more than 9g and 25' AoA?
    3. Don't you think that a HMS, and a thrust vectoring system on the F16 will beat the MIG29 more easily?
    4. Which is T/W ratio of the F16, if not classified?
    That's all
    Thank you very much
    P.S. F16 is my dream as you see and the only aircraft I love truly.
