Should I buy the Sabre?


Reflected

Recommended Posts

Ha. Sorry guys. I butchered it twice.

 

And I hate to ask again, but does anyone know if there are any currently working Sabre campaigns for 1.5.3? And period units?

 

 

Or do I just need to research which ground units were used in Korea, then use them and create my own missions?

ASUS Sabertooth P67 :: Intel i5-2500 3.0 GHz :: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 :: 16 GB DDR3 RAM :: Crucial 240 GB SSD :: WD Black 2TB HD :: 50" Magnavox TV as monitor :: TrackIR 5 :: Saitek X52 :: Saitek Rudder Pedals

I finally bought the Sabre!:)

 

I love it. Amazing detail, great looking cockpit, very immersive procedures. It's very maneuverable and fast, it's amazing how easy it is to pull 5-6 Gs. A real joy to fly.

 

In combat however...i still can't get used to the radar guided pipper. I usually just cage it mechanically. Also, aircraft visibility in DCS is a serious issue, the worst I've seen in all sims, and this makes it virtually impossible to dogfight with MIGs. I just installed the impostors mod, hope it will help.

You have to make sure to electrically cage button after using the manual uncagrr. And only let the piper float around once your pointing it at a target.

 

If you turn the radar range knob down to lowest then it doesn't track at all and can instead becomes a gyro sight. I generally turn my radar ranging to 0 just so I can ambush a mig within first pass mig15bis has a alarm that goes off when the radar ranging unit is point at its direction.

 

its added bonus that we have a post Korean refitted with the avionics to arm early aim9b/gar8 sidewinder.

 

Sabre also makes for a decent fighter bomber, its got both manual bombing modes and automatic release modes.
