F-16 vs F/A-18

So, pitch rate is when the nose is pointing inside the turn more, in level flight and the a/c skid and sink by inertia trying to turn sharply,right?

Pitch rate is the rate of change of the airplane's nose. An aircraft may point its nose very fast without changing direction of travel. An example is cobra maneuver.

Pitch rate mostly affected by horizontal stabs

Do a Cobra during a fight, and hope your chute was well packed because you are dead within seconds.

Even the highest trust aircraft takes too long to regain the lost energy.

A great video of the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels in 2023
See the F-16 compared to the F-18 SH by the premiere Navy/Marine and Air Force demonstration teams.
