Well you have to take into account a couple points before you get started.
Real-Life
1) Sabre A5 in normal instances could go as fast as 570 mph (920 km/h), not including supersonic which was possible in dives, otherwise only transonic.
2)Mig-15, not bis version, only 25-75mph slower level flight (I think), however it is compensated by its superior climbing ability.
3) Sabre pilots = WW2, Majority Mig pilots = less experienced korean pilots, and russian pilots "ponchos" =WW2
4) Sabre nice comfortabley large cockpit, k14 gyro sight, Mig 15, very tight and enclosed, = uncomfortable.
5)Sabre had 6 50 cals= more ammo, better in some cases, but less powerful, allows for less experinced fliers more shots at a target. Mig 15 2 23 mm cannons, and 1 37mm. Hard to shoot at targets for inexperienced, deadly with an ace.
IL2 1946
1) Mig bis outclasses f86 A5, really a f86E and Mig15bis are a more equal choice
2) How comfortable your chair is, vibrators...
3)The whole skill factor of the wars is dropped out of the equation. It's how long you spend your hours at a computer screen :roll:
Now for the real tips. If you are flying with a squadron online persay, always have a wingman. Always turn into the attack and put your Sabre into a dive since it does have a faster dive. Always keep altitude since Mig can outclimb you. Do not go low and slow since Mig15 accelerates faster and cannons can knock you out with one burst. Keep your throttle up, me and my squad do manevurs like the Thatch Weave since the mig usally misses on first shot. Only works if your going at a relatively slower speed, if bracketed good, always dive away. Thats all I can say since I am not a real pilot and the the real aircraft characteristics do not fully apply in game. Otherwise its generally trial and error. Good Luck!
