Here is a shorter "first look" at the MiG-21 that hits on some of the basic features. I was about to write up a long winded first impression but you will see it expressed in the video far better than I could ever write it here. smile





Two errors I just noticed: I describe the right hand switch on the radar control panel as increasing the look-up angle of the radar. That switch actually puts the radar into a fixed-beam mode used mainly for ranging and Kh-66 guidance during ground attack. The switch I meant was the center switch which filters ground clutter in the center position and tilts the antenna up just a bit from the default angle in the up position.

There is also no such thing as a "zoom dive". You know perfectly well what I meant... wink

Great video.

I know that this plane will get eaten for breakfast online in an a2a role. But these videos still make me want to buy it.

So what's the realistic range of its a2a engagement
Same for the grom missiles, what engagement range do they have?

Fighterops...

The only TRUE Stealth crowd funded game.

Devs said there was stuff there, but you just couldn't see it.
