jejsus Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 So as I see after many changes to both Mig15 and Sabre you are still keeping Mig pilots in a cosie G-suite. I sure don't remember finding a statement that you took it away already in near past as many MP pilots said it was (I was searching through everything here). Telling me here that it didn't have such a huge roll anyway, I don't buy it. If it didn't no pilot from that era would mention it in the way they do and there is evidence out there how Mig15 pilot passes out. No one, I mean NO ONE in MP chasing me at mach 0.85 pulling 9Gs (which is totaly unrealistic anyway for this airframes) passed out, instead he pulled some more (still at very high speed) and finished the busines... ah so cosie... In this thread I won't pick up on cockpit ambient drawbacks in Mig15. Overall I get the feeling - Mig15 = F-15, Sabre = Su27 (the guys who fly those will know what I mean)............... or higher (finacial) interests in Mig15 than in Sabre, or some other reasons I hope not patriotic?
Hummingbird Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 The MiG-15 has no G-suit anymore, and its VERY noticable! You black out exceedingly quickly in the MiG-15 now, abit too quickly infact IMHO. Russian pilots trained intensively in resisting G, and in Korea there are plenty of accounts of "Honcho's" giving US Sabre pilots a real hard time in high G turns. Now I'm not saying that the G-suit wearing Sabre pilots shouldn't have an advantage, cause they should, but the non suit wearing MiG pilots shouldn't black out completely after just a couple of seconds under 6 Gs either.
