Experience an epic fighter aircraft drag race in DCS World featuring the newly released F-100D Super Sabre! We put some of the fastest military aircraft from the late WWII, Korean War, and early Cold War eras head-to-head in a low-level 5-mile speed challenge to see just how rapidly fighter technology evolved between the 1940s and 1950s.

Competing in this high-speed showdown are legendary aircraft including the F-100D Super Sabre, MiG-21, MiG-19, FW-190 D9 (Focke-Wulf 190 Dora), and Bf 109 K-4. From powerful piston-engine warbirds to early jet fighters and supersonic-era aircraft, this race highlights one of the most dramatic periods of aviation history.

In just 15 years, fighter aircraft top speeds nearly quadrupled. Which aircraft will dominate the drag strip and claim the title of fastest fighter in DCS World?

The newly released F-100D Super Sabre continues to surprise us in DCS World, but this may be one of the strangest moments yet.

During a dogfight against its Cold War-era adversaries, the aircraft appears to do the impossible, looking as though it is fighting while flying backwards. Whether it’s an aerodynamic quirk, a visual illusion, or just DCS World being DCS World, the result is both hilarious and impressive.

This short clip comes from our full F-100D vs MiG-19 & MiG-21 dogfight video, where we put the iconic Super Sabre through a series of unscripted engagements using historically appropriate weapons and tactics to see how it stacks up against its Soviet rivals.

Watch the short, then check out the full battle to see how the Super Sabre performs.
