the jets in the jets DLC -specifically the NATO and CSAT jets touted as 5th generation fighters- are severely under-powered in terms of thrust. Jets like the F-18 and F-22 -upon which the F-181 is based- as well as the T-50 PAK FA and SU-35 -upon which the To-201 is based- all have thrust to weight ratios exceeding 1. This means that the plane produces more thrust than its own weight which allows it to effectively push its way out of a stall which none of the planes in the jets DLC are capable of doing. This also means that the planes are capable of ACCELERATING STRAIGHT UP again something which none of the planes in the jets DLC are capable of doing. This coupled with the thrust vectoring that both the F-181 and To-201 are equipped with means that both of these aircraft should be able to maintain control over flight attitude under all flight conditions. Again the planes should be able to almost "push" themselves in any direction.

Steps To Reproduce
Spawn a Jets DLC plane and attempt to stall it.
In reality the A-149 should be difficult to stall, while with the F-181 and To-201 it should be all but impossible. (To clarify, when I say stall I do not meant an airflow stall over the wing that would result in a loss of thrust, but instead a control stall that would render the plane uncontrollable)

Also, thrust to weight ratio is waaaaay off.
The nose of the plane can't maintain level flight unless traveling 550 kts or higher.
Also carrier landing speed for a F-18 should be around 130 to 160 Kts at the most... Not 235 Kts.
Very disappointed..
