I was going to mention the C-6 and that derp cannon. Folks are going to have to define "floaty". No heavy fighter is "floaty", but they are are all more or less "brick-like", which is really the complete opposite of "floaty"! What, like not fast, but still turn like a supertanker?
Heavy fighters are sort of a blunt instrument.
One of th points made elsewhere I have been thinking on - If this plane is out there in any kind of numbers, bomber pilots will cry bitter tears. But that's not the big deal. The big deal will be bots flying them, and all of us in T7 battles will be flying along, or fighting someone and BOOM!
50mm bot one-shotting from a kilometer away.
You've never played with low speed in certain heavy fighters, have you? The biggest example of "floaty" is probably the pancake... it has a stall speed of 50mph. I've used that to out-turn spits. It's not quite as impressive in the Tu-1 because its stall speed isn't nearly that low... but its turn rate, like the pancake, seems to increase with lower speed by leaps and bounds. The same goes for the SE-100. Want to be able to turn real fast? Murder its speed. The 410 you can't honestly do that in, or at the least, I never could. YMMV obviously.
