The sabre had a better rudimentary computer gun sight as well. It would lead the target some what. Also the 86 was hydraulically controlled surfaces. Especially in the earlier models. The mig was still fly by wire. Making it much harder to control and maneuver in combat flying. Making it stick heavy. So says the documentary I saw. Stated by actual combat veterans and Chuck Yeager whom flew the first surrendered mig-15 the Americans had gained control of. So stick heavy, he bent the stick column trying to gain control of the plane pulling out of a dive.

If the Sabre is low & slow in front of you like that, and you have closure, all you have to do is get slow early enough to prevent an overshoot-- pop the breaks, manage throttle. You'll win the race to 0, there's nothing he can do but go in, or give you time in the gunsight. But MiG's handling changes pretty dramatically with fuel load, which may have been a factor here. Not sure what you had it set for.

The North Korean MiG-15s all had a large white stripe painted down the middle of the control panel. According to the MiG pilot who defected, he motioned to Chuck Yeager (when Yeager was testing the MiG) with his hand as if the aircraft was in a spin. He was then motioned as if he was pushing the stick against the white stripe, made a circle with his finger, then held up 3 fingers, then motioned with his thumb as if to say bail out. Yeager got it; in a spin, push the stick against the white stripe, then after 3 more spins with no recovery, get the hell out. A pretty unstable aircraft just getting close to the edge of the flight envelope.

One guy says we don't want certain people to know what makes the tomcat so deadly. Lawyer: "the pilot." The F-86 had a 10 to 1 kill ratio despite on paper the Mig appearing to be its equal. The pilot training was clearly in favor of the US. Again in the Vietnam War, F-4 had problems, but training was lacking as well. The navy focused on training and the air force focused on the plane. The navy saw improving kill ratios while the air force did not. The pilot is still a very important factor. Makes me glad our people train against the best German pilots who are flying Mig-29s

Very interesting video. One advantage of the F-86 armed with six .50 cal. guns is that it carried around 1,800 total rounds. In a sustained dogfight as displayed in your video, the F-86 can get in more shots without worrying about running out of ammo as quickly as the MIG-15. At approx. 3,600 total rounds per minute firing rate (600rpm per gun x 6 = 60 rds. per second in one second bursts), that is 30 times the F-86 could take iffy shots and hope for a lucky hit, as happened in your video. Also, as in your video, it only takes one good hit to disable a sophisticated, modern jet aircraft. Since the development of the German Me-262, all jet aircraft are crammed with essential parts that require all of them to operate correctly in order to function. One little bitty bullet hole in the right place will doom the aircraft. Americans also used Armor-Piercing Incendiary bullets that easily penetrated the MIG's. Due to the high operating temperature and pressure of jet engines, one hole in a fuel, hydraulic or oil line will eventually disable the aircraft. Gun-camera footage from the Korean War showed the vapor trails from wounded MIG's that didn't make it back to their bases. Great video series, keep them coming!

Real problem is not only with the shells being heavy and low velocity but the trajectory of the bullets are different making landing shots way harder.

Really? "I say, sorry America, but those Russian johnnies insisted they wouldn't use those engines for warplanes and we took their word for it. That's jolly well not cricket, bad show all round."

@Christopher Smith You know it was Von Braun, german engineer who built the V2 missiles for Hitler, that helped America build the rockets used in the Apollo program don't you? Everybody pillaged WWII German innovations.

@Christopher Smith Even Einstein was a German scientist, who left his country to escape the Nazi regime and nearly didn't make it to America because they thought he was a communist sympathizer.

@Christopher Smith It wasn't a copy from the germans all, all four of those nations had started work on jet engine in the 30s, USSR stopped because they were invaded but the germans and Uk and usa stayed working on them. The british and german designs were fundamentally different, the british, i believe favoured the centrifugal flow design and the german favoured the Axial flow design.

Fair play to that guy, damaged fairly early on but kept fighting the platform and in the end got a successful conclusion.

Korean War stuff is great! And the Mig vs. Sabre duel is maybe the best matchup in all of air combat history.

Tristan Blair Me too. I've been hoping that this exact matchup would happen. I was so happy to see it. Now I want to see Sidewinder in the Sabre.

Again, a great video to watch before I go to bed. As I said before; I love your clips, they are educational, intuitive and also bring some history to showcase the rivalry between Mig's and every other American made aircraft. But I do have two questions, first; how do you play this game? most of my gaming I played on Xbox, and currently, I'm overseas can I play this game on Xbox. second, can you make a video about the Iraq-Iran war of the 1980s? Mig 21 vs Tomcat, it was a very long war, and both sides used the air-force extensively. Thanks for your time. Vr Haz
