no bull = not from bulls ok??????????????

unrequested messages directed to you from awacs are still bogey dopes, so they're relative to you. its almost as if you're making every effort not to understand whats going on here.

our f-86 would actually make for a more accurate mig-17 stand-in.

he who turns, burns harriers are more or less free kills in a visual fight, especially against the f-86. against the mig-15 it's got one thing it can do but nobody ever does it. however its true that you can kill anything with anything as long as you manage to find the right set of conditions.

how would daylight tv seeker head of 500kr and 29t see what lltv sees? it doesnt. you simply dont use tv seeker weapons in poor light.

oh cool, you're the dude that wrote the flightgear f-14 nice to see you around

you should just post some tracks if you are ever honestly curious to get your problem addressed.

hes saying he was flying it in his dream in regards to beta testing, read this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=50779

when this happens to me its because i accidentally toggle the fn key on my keyboard.

oh okay i stand corrected then

i think he is asking for the target acquire button, the functionality which should be found on the sensor control switch (stick castle up)

please elaborate what you mean by "cant update" if you want us to help troubleshoot.

MiG-21 RP-21 = Spin Scan MiG-19P RP-1/RP-5 = Scan Odd MiG-19PM RP-2U = Scan Can

yeah i think that part is marketing bluster, they took the whole "generation" concept and are now running away with it, the implied intent being that they can just somehow leapfrog into the lead by saying so.

in the end though aaa shells are not guided and even with atmospheric data figured in tracers may still be needed to verify their trajectories so that any further corrections can then be made

we havent even started exploiting 5thgen capabilities yet and you people think we can already move on to 6thgen? generational shifts are not simply about simple statistical inflation, they are about shifts in paradigm, and you can't know what new approach you will need until you've learned the lessons of the previous generation.

bubble canopy man bubble canopy this thing is going to own in the 3rdgen arena and will remain a credible threat to 4thgens in permissive terrains.

radar target relative altitude symbology in the screencap is reversed from what we see in the mig-21, is that correct or a mislabel?

i don't buy it, self-destructing shells have been around for a long time and it's a completely different mechanism from tracer flares. otherwise whoever is saying that is implying all the nontracer shells fired end up falling back to earth?

nobody is expecting to you to sight a target a 40nm. you have no business finding 20/30/40nm targets in an f-5 anyways because in that distance between you and him are any number of things that will upset your approach. knowing somethings out beyond 10nm is only good for situational awareness so that you know how long you can stick around for etc. use cover and look for targets at ~5nm. there are things you can do to increase your likelihood of seeing your target. rwr wont tell you about ir missiles rwr wont tell you about all the other guys who have eyeballed you and are sneaking up on you with radar off in those cases yes, rwr "doesn't work", and none of that should be considered "odd" in any sense. nothing's odd about people abusing techniques expressly to avoid your rwr, and there should be nothing odd about relying on your eyes and preventive measures in flying to counter that. like air combat's been around long before the radar was a thing, do you find it odd that props don't have rwr? i dont think so. --- lot of times success boils down to having the right expectations. it just sounds to me like you are expecting the wrong things.

if you're used to ww2 props like the spitfire, the turning on jets will feel agonizingly anemic but you need to be patient with it -- set your turn and wait to rate around while resisting the urge to haul back harder. there are times all that instantaneous turn capability should be used, but abusing it too much is the easiest way to land yourself in jail. of course not, that's what your eyes are for honestly sounds like you're relying too much on the airplane and not enough on yourself as a pilot. systems are there to help you, not to do things for you. you occupy yourself too much with the radar when you should just be eyeing the enemy and thinking about your approach geometry, and you think too much about the rwr when you should just be looking behind yourself. you defer too much to what the airframe is capable of when you should be deciding what to limit your maneuvers to.

you squandered the advantage you had. why would you wait for him to gain on you? you have to keep up your offensive because every second longer spent running away is one second longer he has to recover. this is a real headscratcher, because in energy fighting if you get to make multiple passes at all, then it means the other guy is even lower energy than you and isnt getting a chance to recover, so why would you have to go regain energy if you are already executing more energy-conservative maneuvers than him? that's why you're in the vertical in the first place! you disengage because there's the threat of getting thirdpartied, not because the enemy is some magic fairy that gets an influx of energy all of a sudden after you do 3 passes. no, he gets energy because you ran away to "regain energy" yourself. if you're gonna hit a guy you better be thinking about how to kill him.

well theres a lot of bullshit out there anyone who's actually flown the mig-15 against a sabre knows the mig can't dive. its not that it doesnt accelerate like a burning squirrel, its because its acceleration is wasted by a top speed limit. approaching transonic it loses pitch authority and inevitably initiates an uncommanded roll which if allowed to progress will accelerate the dive further until the aircraft is in an unrecoverable inverted dive into the ground. you must be cautious when diving in the mig-15 which means throttling back and speedbraking meanwhile sabres can just firewall it downhill thanks to the all flying tail. you will never catch a sabre if it wants to run away. 6-3 wing sabre is also not the "evenly matched" sabre, it's the "10:1" sabre that will catch the mig eventually even in the climb. mig armament is also not a good fit for its capabilities, low velocity of the cannons means that the lead required for a tracking shot negates its marginal turning advantage. doesnt matter how big your rounds are if you cant put them where you need them.
