MiGs Going Supersonic

The Mikoyan-and-Gurevich Design Bureau was one of the trailblazers of the jet age in the USSR. The MiG-9 was a decent aircraft all things considered, but as they wanted to make even faster planes, Soviet engineers decided to go with a swept wing instead of the conventional straight wing design - and so the MiG-15 was created: a fighter of the new type, which quickly made a name for itself thanks to its excellent characteristics. Today we’re going to discuss the ways you can play it effectively, the MiG-17 and the MiG-19.

[@mateuszk887]

Oh yes! Lim-5P! My grandpa worked in PLZ Mielec (Poland) where these planes were made. He always told me that Mig-17 still had a lot of room for upgrades. And if Soviets would let them apply these upgrades that plane could easily compete with 2gen jets!

[@anguskauffs9601]

Wow very cool!

[@cookiecracker2]

seems the chinese did exactly that.

[@THEREALIceman1]

Same here. He has flown 21s in Mielec too. Honestly migs were the best fighters of their time

[@josephwear9572]

Do a follow up to this video. You could call it “Modern MiGs” and go from the MiG-21 all the way to the recently added MiG-29.

[@darrellpratt4479]

Thats such an awesome idea.

[@pilotpug]

Would love to see the MiG-17 and 19 variants that carried the K-5 beamriding missiles.

[@mab2187]

I hope to see the MiG-17F the proper tech tree ver with afterburners, and subsequent versions. And pls bring in the lead indicator for all aircrafts that had em, both cockipit view and 3rd person.

[@IllustriousUnknown416]

It would be perfect if you guys made either the Mig 17 AS or the mig 15 bis ISH purchasable considering you just made this video!

[@Legohunt07]

That’s what I’m saying

[@strategiccommander4736]

Wait you can't buy Mig-17AC ?

[@potatouno]

Uh mig17as is out of sale?

[@jaiiii116]

I really want mig 17 AS because mig 17 is my favourite and having a cool Camo and missiles is nice

[@lynx-alpha2073]

I have it and believe me you dont want it, its in a horrible match up at 9.0 it loses to its downtiers Even the yak 38 is a better choice. you face the g91r4, mainstay grinder of 2 tech trees and its 8.7 The 15ish is even worse

[@v3es473]

One small difference, the 15bis also differs from the regular 15 in the fact that it has hydraulically boosted controls, meaning it doesn't lock up as much (still a lot)

[@dogeness]

Is that only for the elevators? Bc the high speed roll rate of the bis is still atrocious

[@shakenbakejake25]

@@dogeness Migs in general just don't have that great of roll rate. At least compared to the Sabres and G.91s. I think that's the leading slats that give NATO aircraft the better roll rates.

[@dogeness]

@@shakenbakejake25 The only plane out of the ones you mentioned that have leading edge slats are the F-86A, F-86F-40, CL-13B Mk.6, G.91Y, and YS. All the rest of the Sabres and G.91s don’t have it. Leading edge slats just lower your stall speed and decrease turn radius. They don’t do anything for roll rate.

[@soccer51x]

Honestly the Mig-17 has to be one of my favorites, despite the video saying it's bad at turning it turns incredibly well if you know how to use your airbreak and utilize the large wings, you can go from an energy fight to a dogfight with ease and out turn most things aside from G-91's etc.

[@MechaG2]

Awesome! Really enjoyed this! o7

[@darrellpratt4479]

Such awesome timing warthunder. Im just about to start using these.

[@Blueesteel_]

Really excited! Love the constant state of improvements you guys do! This game is going strong! Keep it up 👍

[@skybuprofen9834]

The MiG-19S absolutely wrecks everything at its BR in air RB. It has the classic party piece of being able to just go up and the extra cannon makes it all the more deadly.

[@charlesramos4294]

Really nice video of the early MiG fighters! I hope to see one on the early Sukhoi Su-7/9/11 variants as I really like the Soviet fighters with nose intakes.

[@germ205]

We need the old guy back

[@Soldier-qm1kl]

Its really great to have the mig15 against bombers when you can easily get the be when you getting missiled from 4km.

@@lior_theboom This Is why i asked for the Dev blog and not for the teaser

[@most_sane_piano_enthusiast]

The MiG-15 has (along with other swept winged MiGs) incredible MER and turn rate, but lackluster roll. It is extremely dominant in a rate fight, but suffers quite a bit in a radius fight (e.g. a rolling scissor), as many of its opponents roll considerably better (e.g. an F-86 Sabre).

[@dumpsterfire42]

Will we be seeing the su/ISU family in an episode any time soon, they are some of my favorite vehicles to play, simply magnificent

[@llamaimpyjama6402]

Q: hey gaijin can you tell me if the German 75mm planes where effective and where they used thanks❤️

[@joeln6871]

Are you able to make a video about the Magach or Merkava variants? It could be interesting

[@WalrusTemp]

MiG 19 is always gonna be my favorite, I just love it so much the design is perfect, and it is a very solid dogfighter in game, so I would have to say it's my fav :)

[@Groffili]

I wouldn't mind so much having my beloved Mig-15bis go against Sabres. I'm more concerned about the AV-8s and A-10s...

[@gamerstar238]

this is good game thank you

[@wierdlifedude5283]

how doyou set the mig to drop 1 bomb at a time? plus, will you guys make a video about key binding for jest from higher BRs? seems a bit overwhlemning to get a grip on all the functions

[@GUNS4084]

What can be honest in the Russian patriotic game?

[@cookiecracker2]

Q: Hey gaijin, in the near future could you, or will you add the F-94 starfire to WT? It was the first american production jet that had a afterburner, that's a pretty nice piece of history right there. Would love to see it in Warthunder, preferably N O T as a event vehicle.

[@tomassiqueira5172]

Great idea

[@FinnianBrennan-wg1vd]

i love the shape of the migs airframe

[@peterruiz6117]

Chuck 'Ego' Yeagar proved that the Mig15 could not break mach...He, and another pilot were supposed to test a defected Mig15 , but instead, did all but fly it into the ground trying to break the sound barrier the way the Sabre could.

[@GreatSim33]

Love it

[@renkylo1598]

Getting a 1km+ kill on a faster jet trying to run away in a straight line , with the 37 mm cannon, is one of the most satisfying things you can do with these planes

[@loisopipvjbjy]

Q: Will wing vapor effects be added to jets? Many people want this so please add it, because i feel like you dont read all the comments anymore.

[@ODST_Parker]

Only played the MiG-9 in the Chinese tech tree so far, but I'm currently still researching the J-2 (MiG-15bis) and I'm very much looking forward to it.

[@jaiiii116]

It's quite cancerous sorry to tell you, most games you have to fight people that just run all game and spam missiles. There's almost nothing you can do about it especially the all aspects ;/

[@ODST_Parker]

@@jaiiii116 That's basically all of high-tier now, I know. I've been spading the G.91Y, and that's at 9.3, even worse. Still, should be at least a little fun, and not a guaranteed up-tier.

the mig 21 is an interceptor designed to scaramble quickly to protect bridges and supply routes while the Sabre is an air superiority fighter built to escort and protect bombers, a great pair of planes but the 10 to 1 USAF claim is knida overblown

My choice is hands down mig-19, as it is energy god. You can loop around enemies or ratefight anybody in your br range. And if you pick A-5 or Q-5 you get buff mig-19 with flares. This airframe is basically a recipe for fun, kill-rich- evening.
