I think about that a little differently: I am soooooo eager for more Gen 4 (or above) modules to find their way into DCS, that I will buy them regardless of their history and level of being iconic, just to get those modern avionic systems to play with. Heck, I am far more looking forward to the Super Tucano than any MiG-23 - just sayin'.
That said, I would really love to see - and pay premium - for some export variants of modern (Gen 4 ++) Mig-29 or Su-27 derivatives by some capable and reliable 3rd party developer. :thumbup:
