Kartoffel Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Has LN got any plans to make different types of Mig21s? A lot of them are very similar to the one we have in game? For instance, the fishbed-L is pretty much the same except for the targeting pod for the Finnish air force. War is easy and is just like riding a bike. Except the bike is on fire and the ground is on fire and you are on fire and you realise you are in hell :joystick:

That is a shame :cry: I love the mig21 as it is but I could see it being a lot more enjoyable with the targeting pod. War is easy and is just like riding a bike.

Darkbrotherhood7 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 It's not worth to make different variants, at least in my opinion.

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Unless you're looking for one of the LanceRs or a -93, you're going to get a Fishbed with CG issues and a worse radar. The bis is the most refined version of the Cold War Fishbed, it is the sort of ultimate incarnation of it. To make it worth consideration, I'd suggest to a potential developer that they look at either making an upgraded variant like the MiG-21MF-75 LanceRs of the Romainian Air Force, the MiG-21-93/97, or go way back in time and give us a MiG-21F or F-13 to tangle with Sabres in. Preferably, MiG-21F so that I can giggle at people wondering why it hasn't any AAMs. :lol: Edited June 21, 2016 by MiG21bisFishbedL Reformers hate him!

WinterH Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I would love LancerR, Bison, F-13. Not sure on PF or MF series, well probbably I'd like them too but, I don't think it would make too much sense to build them, unless there would be a complete Vietnam package availabe then. I would also love some of the newer Chinese J-7 types, which is whole another aircraft, but strongly tied to MiG-21 legacy too :P. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script

BlackLion213 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Why do you think that? I would buy an earlier variant of the MiG-21, but currently there isn't the right infrastructure to support an earlier MiG-21. The current maps aren't totally ideal for the MiG-21Bis and this would be compounded by adding earlier versions that are more out of place. The Mirage III by Razbam helps as it is a classic opponent for mid-life MiG-21 variants, but there is still no theater and few other AI aircraft from the era. That could change and there are probably a wide-range of unannounced theaters that are being considered (or even in progress on some level). But for the foreseeable future, the MiG-21Bis is the version that fits in the best (IMHO) and it would be better to add more "Bis" content such as new campaigns or even a new theater than add different MiG-21 variants. You could also make an argument for upgraded variants (as you and others have mentioned), I'm less excited about this though I would consider it. However, these variants only operated with a few countries and in small numbers. The allow for "prototypical operations" you would also need (or want :)) a new theater. My feeling is make the most of the good work done already by adding content to the MiG-21Bis, then add other variants if there is still interest later in the future. My 2 cents, Nick

My 2 cents, Nick I don't think I would want newer variants. Newer variants are same old migs but with newer systems integrated, usually western ones you would see on any other modern western aircraft, which we already see enough of. I would much rather see earlier migs, which alternate or lack of radar, perhaps lack of internal gun, different powerplants/engines, etc. This would just allow the Mig-21 to fit into more theatres.
