Also im VERY grate full for all the hard work mods have put in to this game. its great they are releasing all these great mods ect and i dont want to sound whiney or any thing lol :p also forgive me spelling im an idiot
ok i down loaded the very cool up2.0 mod and have finally gotten to see something in IL-2 i never thought id see, mig 15's and sabers! but im just wondering if the FM is even close to right. Im no expert but iv seen a lot of documentries and read a lot of things about the migs and sabers. iirc the saber has a slight advantge in both speed and climb at low alt while the mig had it at realy high alt. now in the game im constantly getting owned by the migs. they seem to climb and excelerate like UFO's on crack lol. i mean its not even close at any alt. its almost as bad as trying to fight a 262 in a p51 . even when i take a saber L 1953 vs a 1950 mig. Now im a pretty good pilot. i can take on 4 fw190's a9's ace lv in a 51 or 38 and have little trouble most of the time. so i dont think its that i just suck really bad . The migs just shoot right up from sea LV like a bottle rocket and i just cant keep up what so ever. i tested the top speeds and they are pretty close but the migs are just WAY WAY faster in regards to exceleration! Does any one else have this exp and is it accurite? i mean i cant see how any sabers survived the war if this is even close to what it was like between the two planes. from what iv seen and read itwas suppose to be fairly close between the two planes but in my exp so far with this game / mod its not close at all.
And again i hope i dont come off as a ungratefull *** hole. thats not my intent. im very greatfull for all the work these guys have done.
comments please
This gentleman is right. I had the same opinion. (However I said: "It is like the latest Audi (Mig) against Mr. Bean's greenish car (Sabre)") I have had a dicsussions with Cirx in SAS forum, and he shared my observations and promised to take a look at the buttons (the file that influences FM). So we have just to wait for the new SAS buttons.
People should try to catch a Mig in a Sabre before making any judgements.
Taken from: http://www.acepilots.com/korea_aces.html
The MiG could fly higher, 50,000 vs. 42,000 feet, offering a distinct advantage at the start of combat. In level flight, their maximum speeds were comparable - about 660 MPH.. The MiG could climb better, the Sabre was more maneuverable and could dive better. For weapons, it carried two 23mm and one 37mm cannon, compared to the Sabre's six .50 caliber machine guns. The American weapons, while not packing as much of a punch, carried many more rounds and were aimed with a superior gunsight. Maintenance of the Sabre was a headache and a large fraction of the UN air strength was "in the shop" at any time.
Hope the guys here won't skin me alive for posting the link to SAS here.
