The A3M1 is a highly maneuverable aircraft, designed in a fighter jet role. The design philosophy is similar to that of the Su-27, while it also incorporates details from the Su-57. As such, the vertical and horizontal tail wings all swivel entirely on their axes. As such, it is able to perform very tight maneuvers. My testing showed it was able to perform the Cobra Maneuver, the Kulbit Maneuver, and various others. The downside to this craft is the relatively slow top speed of just over Mach 1 at 1 km, due to the weak dry thrust of the Panther engines. It will also tend to bleed speed off rapidly during tight maneuvers. However, the large wing area does allow it to perform relatively well at low speeds (<50 m/s).
