atsmith6 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I did a test flight monitored with Tacview and found that the corner velocity in the DCS Mig-21 seems to be at around 800km/h IAS (approx 430 KIAS) where I can get a sustained turn rate of about 8.8 deg/sec. The flight was done at 5000m loaded with four IR and 2 SARH missiles and the turns were sustained level turns. Before I accept these figures, does anyone have any better or better quality information on the Mig's turn performance? Note that I'm referring to sustained velocity only, not instantaneous. Many thanks!
fjacobsen Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 As far as I know for most fighters corner speed is from 350-450 knots So for a deltawing, like the Mig-21, 430 knots doesn´t sound wrong.
