My post isn't going to go into as much technical detail as Lt.Wolf has allready covered that and to be honest I have gone nearly completly off what Lt.Wolf has told me whilst he was researching, we have however spent a lot of time flying the planes against each other and here is what I have to say:
After reading this thread I am rather dissapointed to see what has happened, okay the original FM's for the F-86 and the Mig15 were not accurate, after talking with Lt.Wolf about this he stated to me that the FM's were not extensivly tested ingame, this resulted in about 2/3 weeks of him researching the plane and reading the accounts of pilots from the Korean war.
We then tested and tested the plane and we did it for one simple fact, Lt.Wolf and myself think everything should be as accurate as it can possibly be which resulted in Lt.Wolf getting very fustrated and eventually both aircraft were as correct as they could possibly be, we have had many dogfights and the truth is that we have needed to use all of the tactics that were used in the korean war, both planes have the same advantages and disadvantages that they had, the new FM's are outstanding in every way and were made to be outstanding for this one simple reason.
The Mig 15 and the F-86 Sabre should both be the base which all other Korean war aircraft made for IL-2 should follow.
Oh and another thing, the aircraft were in the Beta stage, what makes people think they can correct something themselves and release that FM before those planes are off Beta without even asking the modder who is making the plane for permission. Beta planes are Beta for one reason, they have faults and issues that need correcting by the people that are working on that mod.
