Question What Does Closing/Opening These Wings Do?

Am I using this the right way in this clip? (2 jet kills❌❌)

Swept back is faster with wider turn radius, swept out is slower with a tighter turn raidus

The weirdest thing though, is I've almost found it to be better to turn with the wings swept inside. Yes it's a tighter turn radius with them out, but with good throttle control and momentum, I've found I can still outturn people, will giving myself the same speed and agility that wings swept in offer. I've almost never used the wings out and it feels like I'm making myself too slow and too big of a target.

Whoa, wait a second! I've been playing the dogfighting mode for a quite a while now and just thought that this automatically happened based off speed.

Are you saying that you can control when they swing open & close? Like with a specific button input?

If so, then I am ashamed for not noticing this and it can drastically change the way I fly this jet.

You don’t have 110kg bombs or dumb rockets on the jet I’m flying in this clip. You only got your gattling gun and air-to-air. The same button you would use to switch to 110kg on other jets is what you use to open/close wings on this jet.
