Decided to clarify a subject I commented on regarding Vectored Thrust on the F/A-22 vs. Non-Vectored Thrust on the YF-23 Flight Controls better or just as good as the -22 configuration, apparently, now that I've read some information on the F119, it is true, Vectored Thrust does indeed augment instantenous turn rate, roll rate, and of course pitch. So I really think, the -23 still did an incredible job without the vectored thrust, if it had a different system, it would have been something indescribable, to the winner, goes the spoils.
