Sunshine,

Western Allied pilots had a set amount of hours then they were sent back to train others. For example, 28 kill ace Robert Johnson flew a mere 89 sorties during the war, and he was flying an extended tour.

airacobras and mig 1-3:s are bad...okay

bretty much that is all they were facing in 1943 before getting phased out by me109:s

only gripe finnish pilots had about the brewster was the low calibre of its guns,since migs and airacobras had armor proctecting the pilot,and the finnish pendulum dogfighting tactic favored the killing of pilots by short bursts to the cockpit at short range

russians favored the spanish circle which is really vulvernable to pendulum technique
>>
>>61383641
You must not know much about aviation. Ufimtsev had nothing to do with the technology. His initial theories developed the numbers to use as a basis to explore experiments in stealth. What Lockheed did was take his pioneering work and expound on it to the level that was akin to a whole new galaxy.

Once again, Russians had nothing to do with original US stealth technology development

Hans-Joachim Marseille perfected attacks on defensive circles in North Africa against the RAF. Using him as an example, one can imagine the mayhem that could be inflicted against lesser skilled opposition when an ace knows how to slice into the circle.

it was done in spanish civil war,we had one our air force generals in ricthofen academy before the winter war and he brought the pendulum mechanic from there,but we used 2-3 planes to do it unlike the n-spain in spanish civil war
>>
>>61383981
Cobras were kinda difficult to pilot (if you managed to fly an I-16, Mig or P-39, you can fly everything) and they had that awful 37mm cannon.
Yak-1 had almost no armor.
Migs are bad at low altitudes and have weak weaponry.
>spanish circle
Actually, never met this thing in the literature. Many russian pilots have prefered dogfighting instead of something like boom-n-zoom, because of problems with educating new pilots.
If you have watched "Onlly "old men" are going into battle", then you could remember that new pilots in the squadron (it's 1943 in the movie) were taught only to do simple tasks like takeoff and landing.

I wish i still had the source materials but i lost everything in a house fire years ago. I'll go with this and you can look up Soviet experimental and prototype work on your own. In certain very crucial aspects such as metallurgy and even engine design, the US had a very big edge. Notice that there was never a Soviet SR-71 type aircraft, they just couldn't do it at the time to the same quality. Stealth was pretty much the same applied to a different level. It was cutting edge of a whole new scene and it took a whole lot of experience working with prior arcane projects to get right.

In one incident, an attack on up to 600 Kurdish refugees by Iraqi helicopters at Chamchamal, northern Iraq, was observed by a flight of F-15Es. As they were not allowed to open fire, the F-15Es instead conducted several high speed passes as close as possible to the Iraqi helicopters to create severe wake-turbulence, while aiming lasers at the helicopter's cockpits to attempt to blind their crews; this caused the crash of one Hind. Afterwards, USAF leadership ordered F-15Es not to fly below 10,000 feet (3,000 m) to deter a repetition.

>>61400071
Except not at all
The idea of reflecting radar by bouncing it off shapes has largely been reduced to radar absorption with materials rather than geometric shapes

It's why the f117 is a pointy triangle and more modern stealth variants are not

Of course shape still plays a role

But material is more important
>>
>>61400071

The funny

Because lockheed did both with the U2 program and noticed very worthwhile reductions in radar return, enough to be very obviously worthwhile

>Proper shaping

Now this is needed if you want to go from 1/10 or 1/100 of a return and get it down to 1/1000 or smaller. This is where the russians math helped, but the big innovation was with computers that let you do the math very rapidly and iterate the design down to very low rcs returns.

However people had a pretty good idea if what sort of shaping made sense before that commie paper became known. See the sr-71, kingfish, quite bird, ect.

It should also be noted that external shaping is half the battle. Internal reflections are killer and this is something the US figured out entirely on its own.

You really have no fucking idea what the hell you are talking about

Stealth absolutely requires ram materials in order to combat corner and interior reflections, reattenuation and the like.

You arent going to be able to make a stealthy aircraft out of any kind of metal without radar absorbant materials.
>>
>>61400729

Oh and I should add

Radar is a specular reflection and to minimize that you go with sharp leading edges. Look at a b-2s leading edge - its terrible for aero but great for stealth, so the aero gets cucked by thr rcs.

Yeah, they extrapolated the size from spy photos and assumed it was titaniam+high temp aluminum alloys like in the US.

The engine bit was because some libyan 25 pilot rammed the throttles forward and went from subsonic to 3.6 really fast. It was tracked by a us radar station and it put the fear of god into the usaf. But it turned out that the guys killed the engines by doing that

I mean as pointy as F-117 compared to F-22. F-117 was pointy because contemporary computers didn't allow to calculate a better shape for it. You are not going to make anything even remotely stealthy with just smearing it in RAM.

It was that way to reduce weight hence increase range. A very important attribute for a pre WWII carrier fighter. To counter the lack of armour and guns, the Japs made it very manueverable for it's day when the conventional thinking was naval fighters are by design, inferior to land based fighters. It was a shock to the Brits and the US when first encountered. Compare it to the British Swordfish aka stringbag and US Brewster Buffalo, not the later fighters. The Japs could not produce better fighters in enough numbers later due to shit industry and lack of raw materials.
