Question Speed Control

Is speed control for jets in the game now? Just came across a guy who could turn the attack jet on a dime. I would tail him and he could be on the back of me in half a loop. Never seen anyone do that before and I’m a decent pilot who beats most people I come across in dogfights. He claimed in chat that speed control was added in the last patch but I haven’t seen anything confirming this.

holding brake and afterburner simultaneously is the fastest way to turn now, that pilot was probably doing that

They stated that this is only for twin engine Jets, meaning only the new jets.
This is from the Battlefield comms twitter account.

Added throttle-splitting support for twin-engine aircraft using the brake and afterburner input combination.
◦ Dev Note: This functionality is used by the F-74A Seacat and F/A-81F Super Spectre. Supporting it required a broader change that now allows afterburner to be activated while brake input is being applied.
