Operation "Case Blue" - Round 1

[Jugdriver]

No, I think the Mig is better in a turn fight as long as it is under 850 KPH, once things get faster the Mig does not have the control to stay with the Saber.

 

Over all though the matchup, Mig 15 vs F-86 is one of the classics, like Spit 1a vs 109 E4, they two planes are very closely matched but are superior to each other in different ways so it becomes a game of trying to force your opponent to play your game while not playing his.

 

The best part of campaigning is that the situations are very different than what you find in a dogfight server, the overall objectives requires folks to compromise their aircraft's strengths to achieve the objectives and the interaction of ground units, ground ponders and air defense cause a very dynamic situations (and lots of FUN).

 

The one thing I think will come out of a Korean campaign is the fact that the Saber is a true multi role fighter and it excels at it.

 

I am already thinking of a Korea take 2 with the Mig 21 vs F5, that would be a blast as well.

We accessed the plane yesterday. I won't comment specifically on the dogfight as we want to keep our cards secret ( :D ) but F86 is clearly above the mig. Its weakness are fewer and less serious. For ground attack, i can achieve more damage with one f86 than with 4 migs. But my pilots are starting training and while i expect US to win, this round will be very valuable for a lot of us in term of *forced* BFM training.

This! This is exactly what makes BlueFlag (or Case Blue) such a great event. It is dynamic in every way and that leads to a great variety of different situations that you won't find anywhere else.

We did not have pilot statistics in Case Blue first event.

It's planned to be added later on.
