Bucic Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thank you for the translation! I don't get one part though. During the trials the f5 whooped the 21 and 23 while the graphs of the experts preparing recommendations for African pilots said otherwise. What is to be made of it? https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foul Ole Ron Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The experts just did a theoretical analysis and drew conclusions. The test pilots had proved those conclusions were wrong in separate tests and it looks like the recommendations to the Ethiopians were quietly changed as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas_From_Hell Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 A curious bit is that the USAF Have Doughnut evaluations of the MiG-21 (albeit an F-13 version) were not so confident of the advantages of their designs except for the F-4, to whom they gave a manoeuvrability edge despite IIRC reports of the contrary by USAf pilots in Vietnam. Teamwork was deemed essential, and if mutual support is lost, go above M0.98 and run away fast. In the same evaluation the F-5N was said to perform better under 15,000 but generally the aircraft perform nearly identically (it was also recommended that the F-5 be used for DACT, which happened). It was noted that while mil power and turn capabilities were about the same, the MiG-21 was better at afterburning acceleration and instantaneous G turns. Another interesting thing is that the fire control capabilities were found to be the same, when the F-5 was regarded as superior even against latter MiG-21 models for its modern HUD.

QuiGon Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hello, everyone! I think this can be of a great interest to the community, as it was for me. This is an excerption from the book "Life-Long Runway" written by the Soviet Air Force test pilot Vladimir Kondaurov. The story is that in 1976 the Soviets got an F-5E to test. Here is what the test pilot made out of it. The translation was made by myself. English is not my native language, so, please, forgive me if the text is not perfect. [...] Good job with the translation. I really appreciate it! :thumbup: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

shab249 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 As a mig 21 pilot in dcs i was a bit disappointed but i know its true in dogfights the f5 is the winner but in those days that was the job of the mig 17 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooper91 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hi! Bumping this topic a bit. What happened to the translation? Can't seem to find it? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
