![]() Their negotiations were successful, resulting in the purchase of two of the most advanced turbojet engines at that time: the Rolls-Royce Derwent Mk.V and the Rolls-Royce Nene I/Nene II. Klimov was sent to Great Britain towards the end of 1946. Consequently, a delegation including the designers A. Poor forward visibility in simulator, as a large canopy frame and the gunsight block the top and bottomĪfter World War II was over, the leaders of the USSR realized that they were behind the leading states of the world in the sphere of jet aircraft construction, most notably in the full-scale production of turbojet engines.Guns can spark frequently, especially with stock belts.Hard to aim due to low-velocity guns and curved trajectory.Control surfaces are highly stiffening at high speeds.Low roll rate especially at high speeds.Unguided rockets can be used as flares when uptiered and don't hurt aircraft performance much.S-21 rockets with good fuse time (1,000 m) result in a very high chance of head-on winning.Excellent high altitude performance especially against aircraft such as Sabres.Good flaps that allow them to be deployed even at high speeds (up to 670 km/h IAS).Low wing loading which results in great manoeuvrability.Powerful armament, combination 37 mm and 23 mm cannons devastate targets.Although the damage output is a large benefit. ![]() ![]() The MiG's hard-hitting cannons (2 x 23 mm and 1 x 37 mm) are a hard learning curve if the players are untrained in the low velocity cannons. The Sabre doesn't have this same issue so don't try to out-roll the Sabre, use your extremely good energy retention to zoom back up to higher altitude and then re-engage in a dive. The MiG's main disadvantage is that its wing is vulnerable to ripping in the rolling turn. The most common enemies of the MiG-15bis are, of course, the F-86 Sabres, although the Banshee/Panther/Cougar line is also a threat. The MiG-15bis (Germany) can be outfitted with the following ordnance: The MiG is also sluggish in low speed combat, especially in terms of roll rate. ![]() Likewise, players would also notice that the rudder locks up at high speeds, soon followed by the ailerons, and elevators. Players will soon discover that the MiG-15bis is able to almost out climb any other jet fighter within their battle rating. The MiG-15bis has a great thrust to weight ratio, allowing for amazing acceleration and energy retention. Alternatively, in full uptiers, it can form the backmarker of the team rather than the tip of the spear, picking off distracted targets and being able to fight back against even some supersonic jets in close-in dogfights. Having the powerful VK-1 engine and strong firepower, the MiG-15bis shines with its overall performance against a majority of jets that it faces, though it still requires attention to enemy missiles and strong trigger discipline for the limited ammunition onboard. Introduced in Update 1.39, the ◊MiG-15bis is a German operated copy of the MiG-15bis and performs identically to it. The MiG-15bis would serve as the frontline fighter of the NVA, being later supplemented by the MiG-17 and its licensed copy, the Lim-5, before being ultimately replaced by proper 3rd generation fighters such as the MiG-21F in the late '60s and early '70s. The East German air force would start receiving the upgraded MiG-15bis not long after it entered service with the USSR and proved itself there. The main upgrade was the new VK-1 engine, offering a lot more thrust. During the early '50s, a design proposal for an upgraded MiG-15, titled the MiG-15bis (second), was issued.
