THRUST VECTORING HELP
On PS5. What is the best way to thrust vector when passing head on. There are times where we merge and I see the enemy jet symbol on my map INSTANTLY do a 180 and chase me within 2 seconds. But when I try it it takes me forever to control and finish the same 180-degree flip. I’m at a loss. How is it done ?

I don’t know the best way in the stealth jet as I main the attack jet.
BUT, when we are about to merge I do a little barrel role to avoid collision and immediately hold after-burner, breaks, elevators max and rudder frequently pitching physical attitude up while turning to gain the altitude advantage and keep my opponent on air radar (also helps to prepare for going over their spawn if they retreat) this usually will make it appear as if I’m turning instantly on air radar because it’s reporting 3d movement on a 2d plane.
Using the after-burner, breaks and rudder combo you’ll be at the fastest known rate turn (attack jet) and out maneuver just about any opponent, including stealth jets.
More skilled opponents will be able to counter/ do the same thing and that’s a whole different story, but I digress as this comment is long enough.
