Actually the YF-102A(redesigned from the original YF-102)and F-102A was were very maneuverable aircraft. The Case 20 winged F-102As' were even more maneuverable than the case 10 winged F-102As'. The case 20 winged F-102As' had a higher service ceiling in Altitude as well. With a low wing loading due to its delta wing which contained large wing area, in manueverability it approximated the same performance as the Mig 21, athough it could not match it's speed. it did have a little bit better range than the Mig 21 did though.
