Meme Guide: MiG-21 and Comrades

[@DonutWithMustache]

[UPDATE - May 5, 2024] next person to write a comment about how the leak-list for next update has a new MiG-21Bis-UPG and this video will be outdated, im going to hit you with a frying pan. Keep in mind leak lists are not confirmed and take them with a grain of salt. I will make a smaller special-episode Meme Guide on the MiG-21Bis-UPG if it does come to the game.

When you're going up against jets that are built specifically to destroy you before you even see them, but their congress makes it illegal for them to fire at any plane they haven't visually identified. (History will forget that part and you'll be given full credit)

[@crocidile90]

Don't forget congress completely screwing over South Vietnam by gimping them with Korea era weapon systems all for public brownie points and to blame their political rivals for losing a "war" that wouldn't have happened in the first place had their "darling" of a president didn't orchestrate the incident that brought the country into the war. Also president Ike for not telling the former colonial empire to get bent and let colonies be free would have been better in the long run.

[@spaghettinoodles7913]

I've around 500 games in the Mig21s and it's not that bad. Especially if you space climb and r3r whatever is up there with you

[@vavord5181]

Lmao none of MiG21 are bad. Even that goofy ass F-13 at 9.3 BR (it just lacks ammo but otherwise very good at its respectable BR). SMT, on the other hand is one of the strongest 10.3 aircrafts if not the strongest. bis is great in downtiers and decent in uptiers (even bought myself a talisman for it to boost research) MF might be worse than SMT but you don't really notice it playing random battles, unless it's some rare situation where the difference kicks in. J-7E is one of the greatest 11.0 in game surpassed, maybe, only by viggen due to better kit. Ah yes, forgot the SPS-K, but it's hidden and as for now unobtainable. This one sucks.

[@ВячеславФролов-д7я]

A note about mig's radar. It was intended to guide pilot towards a visual range in low visibility weather. The idea was that general instructions for the intercept were provided by gci (and later by an auto intercept system, a predecessor of modern datalinks), and the radar was used for precise guidance towards an intercept/dogfight at close range, where the precision of a ground radar isn't high enough

It's even more of a menace in SB...

[@badasstasticusbadass4908]

I remember purchasing the Mig-21S when it was on a 50% discount with GEs, thinking that It had flares... it didn´t. I died so many times on that thing due to my monkey brain not knowing how propperly use that thing, until I was able to get very prolific in it. And then, when I was able to grind my way to the SMT, suddenly, I got 4 kills and 1 assist on my very first match in the SMT. Only using two R3Rs and the guns. So.... I would say, if you manage to get the hand on the Mig-21S, you will be able to master every single Mig-21 that comes next. That plane will either make you, or break you.

[@sturmovik_80]

I'll be honnessed, i had a lot of fun in the Mig-21 F-13, of course, it's hard to master it, but when you learn how to fly it you easily get 2 or 3 kills every match. But yes i takes a while to learn flying with it, so i understand that most people don't like it. And about the Mig-21bis: I got an ace in a 12.0 match with it while it was completely stock. That's why i love it most among all Mig-21s

[@blessthismessss]

i remember when New Power dropped and the bis was mistakenly added with thrust curves as if it was always in its highest power emergency mode (which the engine only withstood for a few mins at a time irl) and it could maintain mach 1 in an almost 45° climb on low fuel *with* missiles. in my opinion that jet's still the first high performance fighter ingame, though its t/w is only marginally worse now

[@blessthismessss]

also 38:45 the mig21 is really interesting abt this! i personally call it 'rudderswinging' cuz if ya drop flaps and hit aileron one way while ruddering the other, it can induce this crazy maneuver by swinging the ass end of the aircraft around. hit elevator during that and you can induce a weird spin while basically drifting! this is because the rudder of 2nd and 3rd gen MiG-21 airframes becomes EXTREMELY powerful during situations of high drag (e.g wing damage, flaps down). you can learn how to control and finesse this in a dogfight, and force the MiG-21 to ''swing'' impossibly fast around a circle it may otherwise never be capable of turning. definitely love using it as my go-to sleeper build for destroying Mirage 2Ks and F-16s in custom battles because to them it really does look like im pulling PSMs :D

[@HowIsAsh]

Don't trust gaijin to understand how emergency power works on aircraft. The harriers literally have water injection to cool the exhaust temps and increase higher efficiency without burning out, but war thunder just treats it as normal wep as if it was a prop

I CAN SEE THE MIG -21 BEING ADAPTED for space flight

[@moldypotato4656]

The Mig-21S is probably my favorite soviet jet to play. It sits at a BR where it outperforms nearly everything with its fm, while having a fairly competent missile set. I run ~24min of fuel, 3x R3R & 1x R3S, and I just space climb at the start of every match and dick on anybody that tries climbing. The only other decent radar missile at the BR is the Aim-9C and I think I've died to it like 5 times across 800 matches. after you've let off your radar missiles you just dive down and pick people off with bnz attacks and use your remaining IR missile on targets of opportunity (usually an unaware A10A early). When you space climb you typically avoid running into any A10s, as they're forced to stay near the ground, and end up behind them by the time you've finished taking care of the higher alt opponents. They also typically run out of missiles by the time you run into them so they're easy kills. The Sapphire-21 radar is also surprisingly good at low altitude and you can keep a lock on people while in a 90 degree dive while looking straight into the ground, or targets on the horizon above like 500m.
