On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

I remember reading in a book where Sabre pilots said the key to fighting the MIG-15 was to keep the speed as high as possible. The MIG's unassisted flight controls made the stick and rudder very heavy at high speeds and it couldn't maneuver as well and it would tire the pilots out quicker.

[@mattkellen9006]

Turns out the issue of the F-86's guns having limited effectiveness against the MiG-15 was due to the API rounds commonly used by the the US in Korea had unreliable detonation upon impact at high altitude, significantly reducing the damage caused by each hit. Supposedly the Sabre's guns were more effective (still not great) below 25,000 MSL.

[@Skyfighter64]

AFAIK, there was no detonation involved with the M20 API-T round, instead the rounds relied on aerodynamically heating Magnesium that was etched into the bullets. Since it's aerodynamic heating, it makes sense that it could easily fail at higher altitudes.

[@mattkellen9006]

Ah, I was under the impression the non-tracer cartridge was impact detonated, but I am always happy to learn, especially if the tracers operated that way.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

Very interesting. I always thought their small caliber was the problem, coupled with the mig’s ability to take punishment.

[@immikeurnot]

"unreliable detonation upon impact at high altitude," Dubious. The compounds they used in those bullets should have worked fine in a vacuum. Like gunpowder, they burned so fast that atmospheric oxygen wasn't a factor.

[@AlexConnor_]

@@noele6588 USN did the math and decided 1x 20mm cannon is worth 3.5x 50cal in firepower. 4x 20mm is equivalent firepower to 14x 50cal.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com Although these aircraft are very similar on paper the F-86 had a higher kill to death ratio during the war, a couple of the reasons is the better trained pilots (although some korean pilots were actually secretly very well trained and experienced soviet pilots from the USSR), and also the fact that the American pilots were using G suits, which allowed them to pull more G's and to hold those G's a little longer than their Mig Counterparts. I'm sure you can imagine how much of an advantage that gave sabres during the war, anyway guys thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one, Much Love.

Uncanny how the technology of the day was able to produce such closely matched fighters. Similar to how close in performance the BF109 and the Spitfire were in WW2. An illustration of how science and design were/are open source fields of study.

[@bazejs8084]

Probably because both of them based on WW2 German project Messerschmitt P.1101 and Focke-Wulf Ta-183. Similar to submarines: both US Tang, Barracuda and Soviet Projects 611, 613, 614, 633, and 644 were derivatives of German Type XXI submarine. Soviet Project 611 was basically a Type XXI built in USSR. Only later on both US and USSR design schools went their own different way including their respective doctrines, experiences and needs.

[@Raptor747]

The British "sold" the USSR its best jet engines shortly after WW2, under the "promise" that the USSR wouldn't use them for military purposes. The Soviets never had any intention of keeping said promise, and gave the Soviets cutting edge jet engine technology.

[@bazejs8084]

@@Raptor747 Yes, but British was neither stupid nor naive to believe a single word from Soviet delegation, they knew what Soviet are going to do with such technology. British did that on purpose to put a pressure on US government which was refusing to allow GB to participate in US nuclear program despite all British contribution to Manhattan project. The result was domestic British nuclear program and after few years - the 1958 UK-US Mutual Defence Agreement, a bilateral treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom on nuclear weapons co-operation.

[@immikeurnot]

It's not that uncanny, since a whole lot of the Soviet bird was stolen from the West. For example, the engine was literally gifted to them by the British government. The MiG-15 was rocking a Rolls-Royce powerplant... that had been reverse-engineered... after the Brits simply handed several brand-new engines to the Soviets. Unforgiveable.

3:24 the F-86D is an interceptor variant of the F-86. It has been equipped with four 20mm cannons, a new nose(to fit the radar) and a new afterburning engine. This variant became known as the "Sabre Dog". Note: it wasn't supersonic.

Air Force One: I am the world's most secure aircraft. MiG-15: Screw you, I got a combination lock. In all seriousness, the detail in DCS just blows my mind. Look at the scratches in the canopy glass, the shell casings falling through the air. Absolutely god-tier. PS: Does this mean you are getting closer to that which I've been nagging you for?

[@bonidle726]

The .50bmg struggled to do the damage desired because of aircraft having to be built stronger due to the added stresses of high speed flight. There are many accounts of Migs being hit by Sabres repeatedly and escaping full of holes. This lead to Project GunVal in 1953 which saw 12 Sabres being fitted with 20mm cannons and deployed amongst the in theatre Sabres to assess any advantage to cannons over HMG’s. From the results it was decided that the cannons were the way to go, something that every major Air Force had already concluded in WW2. As a direct result of Project GunVals findings all new model American fighter aircraft were cannon armed after 1953. If memory serves it was a 13 to 1 kill ratio for the F-86 in Korea. One can only speculate just how much more successful it would have been if it had always been built with the heavier weaponry fitted.

2:42 - The cannon armament of a MiG-15 is two 23mm and one 37mm cannons.

[@ghoti221]

Another case of how I wonder how the flight models are implemented compared to reality - I have this vague recollection that historically, MiG-15 pilots preferred higher altitudes while Sabres preferred the fight on the deck, opposite of what the feel is in DCS.

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

MiG pilots didn’t have G-suits or hydraulic controls, so it kinda makes sense they’d favour altitude because it gives them more time to recover if they suffer control compression, and the Gs would be lower taking wider turns at lower relative airspeeds. Whereas the Sabres have a pretty significant advantage at low altitude in terms of terrain avoidance because of the roll rate and better resistance to control lock up etc. In DCS there’s no genuine fear if you mess up so it flips the other way.
