It's comparable in size, but has a significantly more powerful engine, and a much tighter turn radius. I remember when I was a child visiting the USS Alabama, and thinking the 16-inch shells had to be tall enough to reach the ceiling in an average room. Going back as an adult and seeing them in my new perspective, I laughed at got big I previously thought they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 The MiG-17 is dinky, only slightly longer than a typical WWII fighter (in fact, the Il-2 is about that long). If you look at MiG-15 in the sim, it looks like a silly little egg even next to the MiG-19. The -17 isn't much bigger, though it looks more proportional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin1cd Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Mig17 is SCREEEEEETCHING loud though. Good God I saw one at an airshow once and it was painfully loud. Very cool to see it though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 All turbojets are like that. I saw some TS-11s at an airshow, and they were likewise ridiculously loud. Afterburners only make it worse. There were no noise regulations back then, certainly not for fighters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at a small town airshow and a F-18 came in, did a low and slow over the runway with the gear down, then split. It was astonishingly loud. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

It might be fast and even good in the corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelthunder Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Since IndiaFoxEcho is doing primarily Italian aircraft,i wonder if they plan to make WW2 Italian military aircraft too.That would definitely add to and expand WW2 along with Japan and Russia too.

I had already purchased some Campaigns at ED's shop, but the current exchange rate makes Steam slightly cheaper, and also the Operation Sandworm Campaign was discounted at Steam but not at ED's, so thanks a lot for the heads up 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
