No but you may support these topic please do!

Radar warm up procedure takes 5 minutes. Eather in STBY or ON It's 5 minutes son!

It's definitely not that powerful in practice. I never took down a F86 With single 37mm hit. In real combat practice it was enough to take down even bigger planes. I'm not computer programming geek, but I just know that 37mm is a rubbish. Lot of noise - nothing in trousers.

If you post something like that it's necessary to compare with some real guncams. It seems for you to large? fine for me it's not, and for someone else it's strange that actually you can't kill M113. All you can take down is a truck. Did you know about i? It's not even precise test or comparsion with some simillar gun. It's rubbish. US Air forces in the '70 made tests of a captured Lim-5bis (MiG-17F Polish production). There were a tests of 23mm and 37mm cannons. See for yourself It's a 0,5kg bullet. I don't know amount of explosive, but even if it's as little as 40g please be aware that's more as it is in hand granade. It's a big bullet.

May I ask for your source? In internet it's hard to even find precise weight of bullet (about ~0,5kg). I would understand 300 grams . 40 grams is a bit ... Small amount. You must also be aware that there's several 37mm shells in Russian army, and the other one is totally different type of ammunition, with more propellant. Also currently 37mm seems only doing some flash effects without any damage

Not only that - RR engines are wider, so a tail section had to be rebuilt. So RAF posesses the most powerfull and... the slowest Phantoms of all kind source:

As we may see - it probably depends on many things. Throttle setting, altitude, engine type. On the video in YT there's a lot of smokeless F-4E as well as the one living quite a trail PS - The ones on the foto aren't actually F-4E PS2: Do you know that F-4E possess the world only supersonic (Ma=1,2) gun kill?

I'll sell my liver... Edit: For a USN Phantom I'd like to sell you miss Piggy

I'd rather vote R2D2... Cockpit looks like the one in in X-Fighter , and there's more electronic around... Es for nicknames for WSO / RIO here is something useful https://aviationhumor.net/the-100-most-creative-pilot-callsigns-with-explanations/ For WSO I Like ALF - Annoying little F*** and ECM - Enlisted Chick Magnet For NAVY - FORD – Found On Road Dead. After a mission, had a few drinks (it suites a sailor, isn't it?)

Thank you very much.

It's not MiG-21 you're talking about. It would be any IV+ generation fighter with modern FOX-3 rockets. Not a 50 year old plane armed with FOX-1.

Thank you. Correction base on sources is always much appreciated. It seems to me that F86F - the one we have in DCS came into service even later? So it would be fair if MiG-15bis would be equipped in these device Also I read somewhere that these version was used exclusively in Europe. Can someone check these info? Actually you made me want to jump again into F86... Some friend of mine said that it's a WWII with a jet engine. I think 6 moths campaign over Korea would be fine...

There's nothing you can buy. The sources you need are available, but hard to get. I was going to trade mine for somebodys daughter/sister

Wrong. Most populated server in DCS is Enigma. MiG-21+MiG-19 vs F-5E+AJS37. No F18, no F16, no F15, no Fox3. Only very limited MiG-29 and F-14 with fox1. Learn to fly. For MiG-21 you need a pilot. For F-16 an IT is enough...

Why? Why do we need better 21 ?? Best dogfights are in early '60 until late '80. R27 ?? I couldn't care less. I'd buy any MiG21, but these one is a last on my list. Besides... Where do you want fo use it? It's to modern for Enigma, so... Blueflag Modern? Versus ... F16CM armed with AIM-120C? I'd rather wait for F4E from Heatblur. If we became an MF from Letherneck it would be a dream team

My 2 films

Compare your 12,7mm with a real ones. Yours are much too powerful. You created F86 armed with M61 Vulcan... To become a real devastating effects US Pilots had to came real close. No chance for Head on kill, or brilliant win in scissors... Also effectivness of high "G" leading bursts is questionable. There's no single case of success from such situation in 14 min. of guncams. Stick to the facts Gents, please. And facts aren't favoring 12,7mm. Only some fairy - tales. As for superior (quote) "radar gunsight". MiG-15bis in Korea from 1952 had Syrena 1 onboard (not modelled in DCS). Simple device making a noise always when wavelength of rangefinder from F86 was detected in rear hemisphere. Check my info if you like.

From start to end I refer to main subject. Hitting power. As you mentioned trajectory is different problem. It's just some of my adversaries here mixed both subjects. I refered from the beginnig to Ghost 79 point 2: "2) bullet damage, today i hit a mig15 81 times and the thing still kept flying! Later i managed 102 hits (including 48 while the mig was on the ground) and it still lived!!!! What are these bullets? Blanks!" It's all about hitting power from start to end. Actually TLTeo confused both subjects. It's 8-th post from the top... As for Hitting boxes in MiG engine. Just one hit is enough to seriously reduce thrust. Good burst from 300m is always effective. In many cases pilot is dead or plane burns.

... Basicly there are 2 types of teachers 1-st one "Look how easy it is" 2-nd one "Look how brilliant I am"

-Fix sound bug in T55, and some strange anomaly in T55 ride on Caucasus map. (Sometimes it stops for no reason while driving on road) -Make columns actually able to travel faster than 30 kph. Currently if you set column of BRDM + UAZ + some Ural trucks and give them 60kph they will lost all the waypoints and column will fell into uncommandable chaos.

MiG 15 burns it's internal tank in 45 min. no matter if you're iddle on ground , cruising middle- low alt, or full throttle on 12 000m. It's 45 min. 2x400 L tank shall give you more time, but it's usabble only in non combat flight. In combat , when you're gaining alt you burn up aux tanks in no time during climb. If you stick to low alt, you may enjoy external for longer, but in a combat you burn fuel much faster. In the end without external it's ~ 45min. and ~ 60 min. with 2x400L external. (In combat mission)

Hispano or NS or any other automatic cannon take their hitting power not only from greater kinetic energy, but what's more important from HE charge. 12,7mm bullet has nothing but kinetic energy. If that's gone they're useless. And for comparable hitting power: 12,7mm with 42g bullet gives 18,050 J Kinetic Energy 23mm with 172g bullet from NS -23 gives 47,900 J Kinetic Energy 37mm HEI-T from N37 (~500g bullet mass) gives about 80 000 J Kinetic Energy So... There you have your hitting power. Yes it's comparable. Like M1A2 Abrams against IS-2, or T-80U against M4A1 Sherman Tank... You may compare them as well ... Stick to the facts gents. It's not War Thunder

Fly in pair with your wingman. Fast in straight lines. MiG15 will be defenseless... He has just 45 min of fuel, so he quickly start to think about coming back... Then he's yours. AiM-9B is allways faster... ...I never exceed 65min of flight time no matter what drop-tank I took...

It does a lot and it's well explained in "Fighter Pilot Tactics" by Mike Spick or you may try "Fighter Combat" by R. Shaw. They both mentioned it. Also both wrote about weak performance of 12,7mm in Korea

Yeessss... more MiG-21 varints I buy all of them!!!! Yeeeessss! MF, SM, SMT do it!!!
