Welcome back, SMSgt Mac! As usual, brilliant post. I believe the F-15 ACTIVE project investigated using TVC (in pitch and yaw) to correct some of the F-15's more "exciting" behaviors at high AoA without invoking the larger, slower conventional control surfaces.

Reveals some interesting details about Rate Limits of the primary pitch effectors and to my way of thinking, some tantalizing info as just how fast the Pitch and Yaw Thrust Vectoring nozzles deflected!
Chapter 6 of the thesis looks at "Representative Maneuvers" comparing the performance of ACTIVE to the baseline F-15. Enjoy!
