Cold War Arena

[Arlo]

Has anyone got a list of all none-missile jets?

Bet that would make for a frantic arena.

Korea.

...with MIG-15, F-86, Tu-4, B-29.  Can anyone add others to this list?.  Small maps to enable easy access to fights and carpet bombing.

 

Don't forget the F-82, which filled a gap during the first part of the Korean war, until the F-94C came on line


And the Boeing B-50 Bomber



By the way, the B-50 was first aircraft to fly non-stop around the world!!

Korea. 

So, what you're saying is; the day the Korean war ended, guided missiles went into service

I know we had radar aimEd rockets.....like in the F86D

     Eventually the F=86s carried Aim-9 Sidewinders.

      You know, early missiles were not that effective.  Don't let Hollywood fool you, you had to work
for even a heatseeker kill.

Did I? I didn't see me say that. But what I did say was:

Korea.

(You won't have guided missiles in that arena.)

Don't overlook the F-86D all weather interceptor, which as you can see from photos, it had a radar dome mounted on the front, above the intake for the engine!


Not quite sure how well the things worked out and but it sure looked impressive up close!

     Eventually the F=86s carried Aim-9 Sidewinders.

First combat use of the Sidewinder was in 1958, probably by one of those ROC F-86s in the bottom picture you posted.

      Sorry Ak, guess I'm just being a jerk    Oh yeah, the Sabre Dog wasn't the only Sabre to
mount a radar, although it was alot bigger than the fighter models.

     I'm amazed that it didn't see combat until 58 myself.  By that time we had plenty of jets that
could mount them.

Same here, and was equally surprised that we let the ROC forces combat test them out for us against the Chinese.  I would have thought the USAF would be hesitant to let the ROC forces test the Sidewinder and risk possibly having a F-86 shot down that was equipped with the missiles and recovered by the Chinese.
