Let's not talk about real physics here, considering that it works in a different way in Strangereal.

Anyway, a 3D Thrust vectoring nozzle is a lot more effective than a 2D one , so considering in pitch autority only , the most mobile aircraft in the whole ace combat would be the T-50 , Sure the FALKEN and XFA-27 are two of if not the two most agile planes in the canon, however the XFA-27 nozzle only works for Yaw movement , meaning it has no pitch autority in post-stall situations , making it very hard if not impossible to perform advanced manouvers (Kulbit , Herbtz and so on) But it could do some that other aircraft could not , one example is a manouver that i was thinking about , i don't know if it exist or not , but probaly not , in this manouver the pilot would start of with a 3/4 of a cobra , yaw left (or right) and while he yaws , he proceed to roll and finish the cobra and thus going back in position but this time behind the pursuer and while the XFA-27 could do this it could not do a kulbit  while the FALKEN could but could not pull of this manouver. The T-50 on the otherhand (or the Su-35/37) in theory could pull both of these manouver, leading me to think that while both these super-planes have superb agilty , they does not have full mobility , they can easily outpace a T-50 or Su-35/37 but could not outmanouver them. But also is worth to mention the X-02 that does have a 3D vector but have nowhere near the same agility as any of the other planes (say what you want, in my view the X-02 is a interceptor not a dog-fighter , these wings of his give him superb stability at any speed , but i doubt it could make it much agile)

So what do you guys think, am i saying crap here or could be some truth behind this theory?
