S71 wasnt faster than any of em. Just had too much total energy for the missile to carry. mig25 + r40 does have enough

[@connoissuer_of_class]

It worked cause the missile first had to climb to 80,000ft, to a target moving away at Mach +3. Until the 1980s most missiles lacked the guidance or the range to reach it.

[@theginger7148]

Which is one of the many reasons the Soviets invested so heavily in interceptors like the original MiG-21 concept, the Su-15, and the MiG-25. They helped form a comprehensive net where they could track a target coming in through ground radar stations and scramble interceptors with such accuracy that even Blackbirds were able to be intercepted for long enough to fire an R-40 should the need arise

[@AcceptYourDeath]

As a flight sim nerd (assuming you are also a aviation nerd) you should definitely try War Thunder. You get away without spending money for a while, especially at lower tiers. There are so many aircrafts you can experience, although only a few fighters are really meta and competitive. If you are a guy who could play for your own enjoyment, not being a tryhard and you like prop driven aircrafts it is worth a try since it is for free essentially. The unlock grind is bearable at the beginning.

My Uncle flew the F6F, F9F, FJ2/3 and FJ4, as a Marine Corps pilot. Ejected from an FJ3, that had flamed out, which crashed into the Mississippi River, he landed on a sandbar by parachute and was picked up by a barge tug. He did stay with the aircraft long enough to guide the plane so it did go into the river, away from people. When he got out of the Marine Corps, he went to medical school and subsidized his time as a student; by crop dusting nearby farms. He did become a much beloved Medical Doctor locally. He had some great stories of his time in service and has since passed, I think it's been almost 15 years now.

Jingles, the "the missile is always faster" was the reason the SR-71 was developed. Though you ARE right in that it is true for any other plane, especially fighters as they need to get close enough to use their own weapons. On a side note, while the Sabre DID start with 6x .50 MGs, it DID later on get a quartett of 20mm autocannons if i remember correctly.

[@nuclearumbrella5818]

A few notes about that dogfight: The MiG-15 had the advantage a number of times and (as far as I can tell) threw it away and put the FJ-4 on his 6. For example, in the vertical towards the end he turned out when he had the energy advantage and (with the other one out of missiles) could have continued upwards to get the FJ-4 even slower, at which point the MiG has even more of an advantage. Also, when you said "getting him off his tail is proving to be difficult," the MiG had the Fury in a stall and had excellent positioning, as can be seen when the Fury nosed down and the MiG slotted in on his 6 (though he then overshot, which was a miscalculation). I have seen a lot of people wish for more WT videos, and I would like that too, but getting a grasp on different plane's br's (this was a downtier) and on the tactics of energy fighting would be nice so as not to give people the wrong idea.

[@chemputer]

Not that it makes much of a difference, as you're not gonna dogfight in a Canberra and do well, but the Canberra B Mk 6 IS actually armed with 4 forward facing 20mm Hispano cannons, and the American variant, the B-57B, has 8 .50 cals, M3s if I recall correctly. Presumably more for strafing than actual dogfighting. The Canberra B Mk 2 (which one of the Canberra's in the game is) does not have any guns, and neither does the B-57A.

[@RedXlV]

The B-57B in War Thunder has 8x .50 cals, but IRL many were eventually refitted with 4x 20mm M39.

@@tokul76 Aim 7 only the C/E/F variants, and only when fired from close enough to catch up before they ran out of fuel. Assuming you actually go by the CLAIMED max speed of the SR71, Mach 3.3 (it could go faster but we'll let the military keep their secrets). The Aim7 is only 200m/s faster. Faster, yes. Faster enough? It would take the SR71 26 seconds, assuming we believe it's max speed and the aim 7's max speed and range, to go from wherever it was when fired upon to outside of the AIM7's range. Given that the Aim7 is only 200m/s faster. that means the launching aircraft would ahve to be than around 5.6km from it. Given the likely situation... Yea the Aim 7 can't do the job. Aim54... probably. Particularly the C variant, the A and B are in more or less the same situation as the 7 but with about five times the leeway for takeoff. Still need to take off well in advance of it and hope it doesn't turn, but way more possible. And the R77 is in the same situation as the lesser Aim54 variants... but with the disadvantage of not having the operational ceiling to reach it anyway. Though yes, there are missiles that were becoming genuine threats, combined with the development of *proper* stealth, rather than 'you can't hit me neenerneener' stealth, which saw the SR71 retire. Though arguably not because it needed to be retired or it would start being downed and more because they didn't want to risk its perfect record, that and how stupidly expensive they are...

Lol reminds me of my Planetside 1 days, I'd fly the Liberator two seater bomber solo, use it and it's nose cannon like a fat fighter/Warthog against fighters, other bombers and tanks etc. Since it wasn't a simulator it had a nice advantage of being a VTOL so I'd also use it like attack helicopter as well, pop over hill to unload the nose cannon into stuff then duck back down behind cover. Rarely ever had a second pilot with me gunning the anti-ground belly cannon. After they put the giant mechs (they called them Battleframe Robotics) into the game I'd do the attack helicopter part a lot and get behind them and hit their shield generators, then killing them quick. I so miss that games, had lots more fun in it then then Planetside 2.

You know, Jingles, what you said about the MiG-15 sucking gasses from the guns into the engine reminds me of something I read in a guide for World of Warplanes a few years ago. Talking about the IL-40 and IL-40P, Soviet tier IX and X Attack aircraft respectively, it said that on the IL-40, firing the nose mounted 23mm guns could have a similar effect on that aircraft's engines, the intakes were in the... root, I think the word is for it, of the wing. Supposedly to solve that, on the IL-40P the moved the intakes to the nose and slung the guns under the belly. Makes it look a bit like an elephant's truck, if you ask me.

[@tokul76]

Mig9 cannons could shut the engine. Different plane

[@michielvoetberg4634]

[@TheNecromancer6666]

Most F86 didn't have a proper search Radar. It had just a radar gunsight. But it could not scan or track. Just to avoid missunderstandings. The major advantage of the F86 was its Supersonic capable wing and control surfaces. The Mig15 would always suffer from massive compressibility issues. Especially since, for its time it was very powerful and it could not only get transsonic I a dive, It could do that too itself in level flight. It was so powerful it coul literally destroy itself by going to fast.

[@thomasembleton1467]

[@blairrighton6270]

early variants of the F-86 (mk1A/B) were unreliable under combat conditions and according to combat veterans the Mig-15 was 'a tough 'ol bird' when trying to shoot at it with it's six .50's, sure it could be damaged but trying to shoot it down was difficult. The Mig had a higher service ceiling and an interchangeable ammo box that could be swapped out quickly as opposed to the F-86 which had to be rearmed by feeding the belts into the airframe which took time... cool dogfight vid, appreciated that

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

I spoke to a Canadian who flew the CF-86. Knowing full well that the MiG suffered from horizontal stability and had twice the climb, I asked what made the F-86 so much better. He said it had redundancy that the MiG didn't. I asked why .50 cals instead of 20 mm. He said .50 cals were better. Both are simply not true, but he believed it nevertheless. Apparently prototype F-86s suffered from compressor failure when their 20mm cannon were fired, so they went back to .50s .

[@aleksanderdomanski222]

This guy is flying Mig-15 bis aganist its strenghts. This plane`s main strenght was great climbing due to powerful engine and nice performance at height. Western fighters had better turning rate due to wing structure (slots etc.). So, experienced Mig pilot would be doing boom and zoom attacks (never dogfight at low level) and when suprised climb in a bit of a sideturn (to avoid being snipped from far). At some point even Sabre would not be able to keep up and disengadge (or stall if not) and that would be a chance for Mig to turn the tables. Do careful sholder turn and attack Sabre before it would regain its speed. Another one advantage is engine placed almost in the middle of the plane (engine is almost same stubby one as Meteor`s). Just behind wingroots. Then there was very long tube for exhaust. Why this is advantage? When you shoot from behind with machinegun there is a big chace that you only pierce that tube without reaching real engine. Moreover, due to its modular construction that type of engine was quite able to witstand smaller bullet damage (in contrast to todays jet engines that can break becouse of even quite small inbalance / damage). That was very important, in late 50`s there was even cause of Chinese Mig-15 returning with unexploded Taiwaneese Sidewinder jammed in its backside. If there was an engine it would damage it a lot and probably destroy the plane. This way Russians got their first real heatseeking misslie (by reverse engineering). First K-13 misslies was such rip off that when Israelis got their hands on some (thanks to 1967 war) they found parts interchangable with US made ones. Anyway Sabre`s engine was similar but when it was hit by 37mm (or even 20mm) exploding shell no matter where it hit, it is very likely that splinter damage will be so extent that plane became a casaulty (destroyed steering etc).

Actually Jingles, while IRL taking a sustained dogfight would be a bad idea for the MiG, in the context of the game were the MiG-15Bis get access to G-Suits and pilots and airframes have higher G-Tolerance than they would IRL, it IS a good idea to take sustained dogfight in the MiG since while it may initally loose due to its low AOA capabilities, its powerloading is considerably superior to the Saber/Fury, regardless is better to take the fight in the vertical were the MiG has an even greater advantage.

But when facing Russian "volunteers" (who probably were volunteered by the Communist Party), who _were_ experienced, the ratio was a touch under 1 and a half to 1. When the soviets finally admitted that they'd sent pilots to fly, they claimed that the kill ratio of soviet flown MiGs to Sabers was in their favor by about the same margin. On paper, MiG 15s had superior performance and firepower to Sabers and should have outfought them consistently. In reality, they were poorly made and few pilots had the nerve to push their flight envelope. For example, the MiG had a 5,000 meter higher ceiling than a Saber. That was countered by a wimpy heater, and if the aircraft loitered at that altitude for long, the windscreen would frost over. Try fighting when you can't see out of the cockpit, and you'll find out why MiG pilots who did were just targets. The MiG could out-maneuver the Saber. But it was unstable and pushing its capabilities made the air frame shudder, which didn't help the pilot shoot straight. Having three autocannon for armament meant that there was a lot of recoil, and that also made the air frame shudder. See the previous statement for the effect that had. Violent maneuvers made it stall or go into a flat spin, and if the pilot didn't recover by the third rotation, he was going to become a lawn dart. The rails on the top of the wings? The wing design had a problem with turbulence in normal operation, and those rails were added to make the air flow smoothly. Without them, it wasn't an airplane, it was a brick. But that's an example of how practical Russian engineering could be. An American designer would have redesigned the wings and rebuilt the airplanes to correct the problem. Russian designers just riveted on a few strips of sheet metal and the trouble was fixed. In summary, Korean pilots didn't dare use all of the MiG 15's capabilities because it tended to end badly for them, but not using all of the plane's capabilities also tended to end badly for them. Russian pilots, who had better training on how to compensate for the its problems, could push the MiG 15 to its limits and it showed.

2:21 *Pylons... That's how those things are called on an aircraft... In reality, during the Korean war, a lot of F-86 pilots complained that hitting a MiG-15 didn't necessarily mean shooting it down. Often, they would absolutely riddle it with bullets and it would still keep flying. On the other hand, a hit from MiG-15 was almost a guaranteed kill. The rest is pretty accurate... Low rate of fire on 37mm, but complete disintegration of a fighter that would be hit with it... Decent rate of fire and massive damage with 23mm, but low ammo capacity...

I'm sitting here thinking "can you fly at those speeds with flaps extended??? ...." at that exact moment: BOOM!
