tacannav Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I have a question concerning the Mig-21, I was thinking about buying it and was wondering if has historical campaigns like operation linebacker with the B-52' and F-105's, and if there are other aircraft to fight against other that the F-4, does anyone know about this that could help me make a decision to buy?
TheHighwayman Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 The game does not have a historical campaign like you seek, but a fictional campaign in the Caucasus. It does have an editor which is easy to use and comes with F-4s and B-52s among a whole host of other aircraft. I do not think it has the F-105. Regardless of how it differs from what you are wishing, it is a definite buy. It is a true simulator however, and virtually every switch in the cockpit works and will need to be learned and thrown correctly to achieve your desired outcomes. It took me nearly three weeks just to get a missile to leave the rail. (I wasn't playing full-time though.) The learning curve makes the machine satisfying to fly. You immediately see where the plane excels and what its shortcomings are. It is a joy to fly, and I just love the intercept instant action mission. Climbing to alittude with your wingman in tow, headed into uncertainty, flipping switches and preparing to execute the mission as it develops, is a fantastic pleasure. You feel like a professional fighter-jock with this simulation. Se yes, this is a must buy. It is worth every penny. You can set up plenty of adversaries in the editor and there is an instant action against an F-4 built in. Personally, I'd love to see someone create a Top Gun campaign or something to that effect. Someone in the community quite possibly has and I'm just not aware of it. As a final tip, I advise you to be a single man without children, or be prepared to get divorced. It's a decadent joy to lose a whole Saturday to this thing. Good luck!
tacannav Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 I think this is a great sim but have to admit I am somewhat disappointed that it is not in the vietnam pacific theater and no F-105's are included, but its nice to know there are B-52's in the sim, I will just have to think on having to fight with an F-4 phantom in the caucaus, I'll put a little more thought into it and come up with a decision soon, I guess they could always add new theaters in the future.
