Dawgie, The contest in Korea boiled down to the MIG-15 vs the F-86. Any other comparisons are moot. Yes the MIG was better than the F-84 but the F-84 was better than the YAK-9. The MIG-15 was designed as a multi-role fighter and one of its roles was to attack bombers. To compare it to "the majority of US Jets and other aircraft" would not make too much sense. You have to compare it to its main rival the F-86. In an attempt to drag this back on topic... Fighters have always been an area of hobby study for many military buffs. I think there could be more development of fighter designations and such to flesh out a campaign FT game. Even tie it in with R&D so that you could spend points to add Torpedo capability to the ESU Raptor-12 or some such. Bob > --- DAWGFACE47@webtv.net wrote:
