If you read report the pilots complained about the .50 cals saying they lack punch and the mig-15 got a hit in you knew you where hit. It why when the RAAF made there F-86 they gave then 30mm canons
What was the biggest difference was not the aircraft but the pilot and the fact that they had better training and tactics this was the biggest difference between the aircrafts.
