In order to climb away from the ground, the aircraft needs lift. This is provided by airflow over the wings. As the engines power up, the airspeed starts to increase, generating more lift. However, the increased thrust also provides another factor the pilots must contend with. As the engin...
It is then important to utilize the A-5C's strengths in acceleration, climb, and energy retention to maintain good positioning in dogfights. Use the flares and RWR to help avoid incoming missiles and carefully manage the airspeed with the throttle and airbrakes....
As the airspeed is lowered to around 240 - 250 km/h, you can then level the nose down to regain energy and flight speed again. With each "zoom climb", the G5N1 can get 500 m further from the sea level, which allows the plane to easily reach 6,000-7,000 m altitude in a few ...
Nakajima began development of the Ki-44 in 1940 as a pure interceptor with emphasis being placed on airspeed and rate of climb rather than maneuverability, a departure from the usual Japanese standards. The Japanese Army Air Force specification called for a maximum speed of 600 km/h (370 mph...
The best way to reverse enemies is to pull them into a climbing spiral or other vertical manoeuvres; the A-5C has enough of the MiG-19's climb and thrust-to-weight characteristics to energy fight in a similar manner, the declining airspeed relaxes the control compression, and a stalled-...
Going after AI ground vehicles with the bombs and rockets can also be successful provided that other jets do not arrive quickly to crash the party. The Type 130 HE rockets can also be unloaded into a base for additional points.− When diving, pay close attention to your airspeed, as the...
Best practice with the missiles is to fire when there is about a 1.5 km gap between the F.6 and the enemy aircraft. This gap gives the missile time to lock on its target and track the enemy. One downside to the Red Tops is that they are not particularly fast compared to other mi...
To do such, climbing is important, as is maintaining airspeed. One should never risk being below 400 km/h since having little speed makes it incredibly hard to evade any attacks by faster aircraft. As such, climbing at speeds above 400 km/h IAS is a healthy option - altitude provides ...
