Yeah, like no spin recovery.
We had a bunch get together and fly as teams in our air combat sim. One of the guys got slow in his and said he was hit and was spinning. I flew by and there was no damage, he just got too slow.
A lot of the issues were compromises to make it the baddest thing in the air was my understanding. The fuel tank ahead of the pilot making poor approach visibility and such.
