Seems like the classic problem of Russians doing something because it's impressive and not because it's a good idea.

To be fair, the same systems that enable supermaneuverability typically enhance "normal" maneuverability as well. I don't think the Russian engineers were designing these systems specifically for awesome-looking airshow maneuvers and 1v1 BFM.

BFM... a less-than-common phrase online but very common on the DFS.
