@Foxbat155, it seems you are a dissapointed and angry person. First you wanted to troll with the Flogger eats a Turkey kind of thing (The name Turkey was given by the appearance on landing, how the Tomcat looks like, and not that she flys like a Turkey). And now everything looks bad what is simulated in DCS world. Fact is there will be no 100% simulation out there.
The true story, there will be no 5000ft 500knots setup, guns only meeting with youre enemy, the better package will win. What I mean is, Sensor, Weapons, Range, trained Pilots/RIOs. In this case I dont see a MiG 23 win be honest. Poor Sensor, poor Weapons (compared to the Tomcat in the 80`s) trained Pilots well something we can talk about how much flyt time and what kind of training the had. One pilot in the MiG 23, poor visibility for a dogfight, short legs, manuel wingsweep (he has to care about it too, on every change in the flyt), he will be to busy to care of the plane itself....
Well there is no myth about the Cat, she was and is a good weapons platform..... About the handling
there are several good videos out there, where the push the Tomcat to its limits I would say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fJICHLi1t0. And it should be clear that a Tomcat in good hands, bites you....
