Some nice looking new screens on the DCS MIG-21 facebook page. I have always thought the DCS graphics look very dated and rather plain, however the new EDGE engine looks like it will bring the lighting/textures/terrain up to current standards. The model/textures on the MiG look fantastic.

That cockpit looks absolutely gorgeous!

There's not really much appropriate opposition for the MiG though?

There should be a bunch of AI aircraft opponents, some from the same era like F4s/F5s. Since Mig 21s are still in service today, taking it into a really hard fight against newer planes is still reasonable if you want a challenge. Not the same situation as the P-51/F-86

Those are pretty awesome MIG-21 shots, could easily see a good COLD WAR scenario being run with those. Once they get in EDGE, hopefully a few will get Middle Eastern camouflage (since the IAF is already one of the factions in the game).

Ran a few AI Russian MIG-21 and MIG-15 vs a fourship of F-15C batttles.

The Eagles where up higher, had AMRAAMS, and had two wing tanks each.

The Migs had numbers, (12 vs 4), A-50 support, and heaters.

Guess what happened...

The F-15s got shot to S#$! after the merge. Even the Mig-15s had no trouble climbing with the F-15s and getting a few cannon rounds into two of them (did not take much to down the F-15 btw). Most of the MIG-21s were able to dodge the first volley of AIM-120Cs with ease. Then it was a simple matter of cranking around, getting on the F-15's tail and firing an ATOL (AKA the one hitter quitter).





Ran that mission a few times, out of the 12, the F-15s got about the 4 or 5 of the MIGs. Re-ran the mission with AIM-7s, the F-15s did a little better, but not by much.
