      Hi,

      I have a blast flying the Hawk T1 in MSFS, that airplane is a great fun to fly!!
      Just a question though, it seems like the Hawk does not degrade its airspeed even during a tight turn. For example if I enter a level altitude hard turn at 400kts and pull 5/6Gs, after a 360° turn, the airplane has lost hardly any airspeed. Just thought that the Hawk would be degrading much more energy.

      Regards,

      F.

        @bisinchi I agree, I feel like it does not bleed energy as it used to... Perhaps a real hawk pilot can shed some light?
        During a run and break 360kts air brake out it does not seem to bleed energy too well either. As I understand you idle, air brake pull to the buffet which in this case seems to be 6/7G personally I would imagine in reality this is 3.5-4.5G.
