..And you took his bait.
He will point out how our Mig-21 only got lucky that too 50:50 with no concrete proof. It still remains a much inferior platform. Hollow claims vs hollow claim.
You are still trolling, so obviously didnot read what i wrote. Its about something not taught in DCS Institute or YouTube University...
the physic related reason of LCA's lower AoA than most peers. Which is why LCA has good low speed performance too. It is a jack of all trades with optimised performance for all speeds and altitudes.(Spoonfeeding:
test pilot interview by hushkit)
You love asking for proof instead of Googling. Why don't you do one yourself?
Find me
ONE single video where your non-delta F-16/Jf-17 timing just
complete loop and turn better than LCA.
Any speed, any altitude... Beat this 2.5 turns.
1. No comments on 27 Feb event except that we can say with confidence that Mig 21 touched the ground.
2 DCS is just a simulation software like dozens other some of which are used by force across the globe to learn and practice their skills. What’s wrong with DCS? As per actual pilots (military and civilian alike) it’s a very realistic, easy and fairly accurate software.
3 can’t understand the green part, so can’t comment.
4 LCA no doubt has good low speed performance in the form of excellent nose authority and low stall speed like all delta wing designs. Where is your confusion coming from?
That said No one fighter pilot in his/her right mind would like to fight at slow speed, due to the risk of getting shot down by the wingman of the enemy. F16 /F15 bread and butter is high speed rate fights and they will engage you in their zone of comfort. Slow speed is extremely risky in combat environment. Even a mirage pilot would plan to start the merge at highest speed and altitude possible to play with the rapid energy bleed.
5 I do read about stuff that I find interesting. But I don’t have time to waste on verifying every self glorifying comments. Fact is that LCA has average ( or somewhere below it) flight characteristics and good handling character thanks to contemporary fly by wire developed with the help of LocMart ( the F8/crusader was the first production aircraft to use it on a fighter plane ). Keep in mind they have done that in 1970s. Now they have moved to Power by wire in their F35 design)
6 any specific purpose to compare F16 with JF17/FC 1 ? Both are different jets designed by deferent agencies for different group of customers and different needs.
7 what do you mean by complete loop ? Vertical or horizontal ? Or you confusing Scissors with loop ? In any case, complete loops are very very rare in an air combat environment. Think of it, as to why you want to go to the direction you’re already headed to after needlessly wasting your energy.
FYI there are four basic flight maneuvers upon which all flying tasks are based: straight-and-level flight,
turns,
climbs,
descent

PS: regarding your previous
Tejas does complete a full loop, followed by full minimum radius turn, both in less than 20 seconds... to display its capability to do repeated turns at high STR. That is the reason its AoA is limited to 24° unlike 30°+ for Mig-21. Any higher and it will bleed away speed”
Again you are saying what I said earlier about higher grab and rapid energy loss is delta design. The swept wing of F16/F15 losses less energy therefore has better AoA. Nevertheless no one can defy the laws of physics. So both will loose energy at some point of time during sustained turns.
Please clarify what you referring to.
