My opinion is that the mig 15 compared to a Saber is better in vertical maneuvers, loops, Immelman especially using the aerodynamic brakes which apparently allow you to maneuver tighter. I would avoid escaping with a long dive where you would risk losing buoyancy due to Mach phenomena, the Saber is faster and is not subject to these problems. I would use the machine guns and cannon only at short range, however I would try to shoot close up with the machine guns too and make good use of the scope which needs practice. While with a Saber equipped with six .50 cals he can successfully attempt even difficult shots in deflection with the Mig perhaps it is better to wait for a better opportunity where even a few shots are still effective given the greater caliber. I advise before going into combat to practice a lot of aerobatic maneuvers especially at very low speeds or high altitudes and use the aerodynamic brakes to sharpen the turns.

At this link I found some data about the cannon, it also talks about other models or major calibers but a paragraph describes the results of the test on a type of 37 mm ammunition. I report the paragraph, I think it's a translation but I attach the link so you can read the original version. I quote a part: ”In 1949, three prototypes B14-113 were produced and tests began at the factory. The ammunition of the gun included only one type of projectile - a high-explosive fragmentation incendiary tracer (OFZT), created at TsNII-58. During firing on the ground, the 37mm OFZT projectile showed good results.At a distance of 600m, the deviation from the vertical was 0.17m, and the lateral deviation was 0.16m.The tracking range was 1100m. According to the commission, when an OFZT shell hit a Pe-2 bomber, it was guaranteed to disable it." Now I can't say whether or not it confirms her doubts but she was looking for some data and I, who am also a Mig 15 enthusiast, wanted to do a search. Personally I believe that a weapon whose barrel is shortened, the power of the launch charge is dampened will have poor characteristics both in terms of accuracy and power but we must consider that the target is generally a large bomber at close range. I don't think you can shoot from a certain distance, I imagine that the bullet will have a curved trajectory given the weight and low muzzle speed. It would be tough to hit from a distance with very arched shots so you shoot up close and accuracy doesn't matter much at that point, I wouldn't worry too much.

Perhaps, we really need an aircraft like the Mig 25 capable of flying at 20,000 meters and reaching a top speed of Mach 2.83. It would be a strong opponent against the F 15 C/E or F 14 . I can understand that they cannot develop the Mig 31 but the Mig 25 has nothing secret anymore, everyone knows the story of the Russian pilot's defection with a Mig 25 at the time of the cold war. It has also not been used for many years . If I was able to create a mod I think I would do that or a vertical take-off aircraft like Yak 141 or Yak 38.

From me I only receive the answers as text, as audio I only hear the voice of the pilot that is mine. Sometimes the voice of pilots from other groups can be heard reaching the waypoint but the control tower has lost its voice.

I often have an audio communication problem, the answers appear as text at the top in the usual position but I can only hear the pilot's voice, not that of the control tower. I went into the options to see if by chance I hadn't selected the audio on the headphones but both output and input are correctly selected. I also tried selecting the option that sends audio to the rider as an in-helmet audio effect but that didn't fix the problem either. In any case it doesn't always happen, if someone has to give me advice I thank him in advance. Ps: I always turn the volume up on the radio and make sure I've selected the right frequency.

There are many weapons or subjects in the encyclopedia that have no description, even a summary description would be welcome. Alternatively allow the player to be able to personally put a note.

Very interesting this thing, at this point a high altitude flight that would normally be convenient to save fuel could become inconvenient due to the winds and force you to descend. Or in this case the weapons of the CBU 105 type with wind correction would become more 'appreciated despite they cost a bit more ^^

If you say it is too much to calculate low altitude or mountain crest turbulence then so is wake turbulence. They gave us wake turbulence and now we wonder if we can also have other types of effects, it was obvious that would happen I hope so much, especially the currents that form near the crests of the mountains and at very low altitudes.

I have heard of a plane that had flown at a high altitude and then on the ground started to form ice on the wings on a very hot day...the fuel tanks still loaded with very cold fuel had chilled the wings.

Thank you for the comment, they are magazines from the 70s and I'm happy to know that they could be useful, if I find other documents I will add them to the post, have a nice flight everyone.

A while ago I read in a post that they were looking for photos or any data that could help reproduce Japanese planes from the Second World War. I hope that these magazines can be of help or, if they are already known data, at least be of interest to other enthusiasts.

I would very much like to be able to create a sea with strong winds and high waves, weather conditions that would put a strain on a landing on the aircraft carrier or make it impossible. I would also like to see the effect of a plane or a helicopter flying low over the sea, the waves it produces. We can see a similar effect on the ground, a lot of dust is raised by the helicopters, the effect of gunfire on the water is also very nice to see.

I have noticed that you can fly at high altitude even without the help of oxygen, no negative effects.

Ah, maybe I didn't understand what you meant, in any case I seem to have read in a manual that the Snap roll was a prohibited maneuver with the P 47. I don't know about you but I don't want to subject the plane to excessive strain, and sturdy but also very heavy.

Here is an example of how the colors blue and green were used in the original manual of the P 51 D and K.
