Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 'FLOGGER' - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

I-15 vs F-15 in dogfight )))

Would just like to chime in and say that the F-15C is underperforming in low speed sustained turn by gaijins own admission. They just don’t think it’s “critical” and so don’t care to fix it. That’s the official statement at least, I’ve heard other reasons from trustworthy sources. As for the cartwheeling stuff yeah, that goes for many other jets ingame. It’s not something unique to the F-15, it’s just wonky gaijin physics, which you touched on

Ground Controlled Interceptors, my beloved.

Hopefully they fix it soon, I remember them refusing to buff the Su-27 turn rate a long time ago for the same reason.

Yes actually, a couple bug reports have already been made and accepted about it, just waiting for Gaijin to nuke the flight model

yes it is

acceleration is too high, bleedrate is too low and str is also to high

for example at 5000 ft the 18e only takes around 22 seconds to accelerate ingame instead of 50

and straight line top speed might also be slightly too high

On the same token the F-5E outperforms the real world F-20 and Gaijin also stated they don’t care to fix it because it is old. This is an arcade game, not a flight sim. You’re welcome to try DCS.

in what way? better worse???
i would buy one if i could find one that isnt overpriced ngl

did some digging and looks like MLD should have SPO-15L/LM isntead of the basic SPO-15. but this is already known id imagined

He hornet in DCS overperforms like hell even according to real lift hornet pilots.

Yep

do you perhaps know something about the Knob on the flightstick used for kh-23m, can also be used to slave IR missiles (only R-60M afaik)?

You’re welcome to bug report it… not like the manuals are readily available… oh wait, they are.

Why would I bug report a DCS plane?

Hornets are a real life aircraft too, they just happen to be in both DCS and War Thunder. Sorry for any confusion. The plane came first, then the game.
