*** Posted by TIGER *** Hi Rapier Who's the better? I'm telling you. I forgot to say that the F16 has a smaller RCS with make the F16 harder to detect than the MIG29 and F16 can maintain energy better. It's hard to say who's the better because both aircraft seems to be equal. I prefer F16 in BVR combat and MIG29 in close combat. As I said it

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier I have on my hard disk MIG29vsF16 comparision. My opinion about these aircraft. 1. F16 has a limit of AoA of 25' MIG29 - 45' AoA 2. F16 has a better all around visibility. 3. MIG29 has a HMS (helmet mounted sight) which is VERY DANGEROUS for F16. 4. At slow airspeeds the MIG29 is better. 5. At higher ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier You escaped the first missile by blacking out. What about the second? In the real life you can face more than 1 missile an you must be prepared for this. TIGER] Hi Tiger, I would have to rely on the ECM, but I may be killed even before I wake up. But that's like saying what will you do if several SAM's are ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier First of all the SU27 Flanker it's not a thrust vectoring machine. The thrust vect. system was introduced to SU37. And about Cobra maneuver: 1. Cobra maneuver: It was first performed by the russian pilot Pugaciov. Second the SU27 don't uses thrust vect. system. At speeds between 400-500 km/h the pilot ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier The risks by taking more than 9.5 Gs in an aircraft are more than the risks of avoiding a missile by actual parameters. You need to have good energy. At high Gs you waste a lot of energy. ] Hi Tiger, Are you talking about potential blackout? because if I was flying a real F-16 I would try and train my ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier You don't have to pull 9Gs to achieve the best turn rate. It should be remembered that the SU27, that I am very familiar with, can achieve the best turn rate 22' per second at a speed between 650-700 pulling just 6 Gs. So if you can in F4 to pull 7Gs for 19' per second at a constant speed why don't you do that?
