The elevator and rudder controls remained the same, so the plane still locks up a lot after reaching transonic speeds. It struggles against other jets due to its overall poor handling characteristics (poor rudder authority at all speeds, poor roll rate at all speeds).Īt high speed, it does not suffer as much from compressibility but it is still at best mediocre. The manoeuvrability compared to the previous variant is basically the same, while this version is slightly worse at performing horizontal manoeuvres due to increased weight (by ~100 kg), it is now better at performing vertical loop and other similar manoeuvres because of the better engine.
While decreasing the power to 95% or lower will cool it down for a moment, if you increase it back to 100% it will immediately start overheating again. Like the previous version, it can not fly at max power for too long or it will start overheating.

The other noticeable change is a huge improvement of thrust-to-weight ratio which increased the acceleration by ~10% and it also has a huge impact on its climb rate, it can reach up to 50 m/s at low altitude with full fuel tanks, making the MiG-15bis one of the best climbing planes compared to other planes at similar battle rating. Its level speed at sea level was increased by 26 km/h to 1,076 km/h, but it is still lower than many other jets like for example the F-86 series.
The MiG-15bis is an improved and definitive MiG-15 version, the main difference is the improved engine, the Klimov VK-1.
