The Mig 29 is a sweet aircraft to dogfight in. It has a large wing area for its size and is very "swoopy" to fly. It was my favorite jet to fly in BF 2 against the F35 and J10 because of that. I really like the RWR of the '29...seems to present more useful info than western aircraft of its era, especially signal strength and enemy altitude in relation to it. Your thoughts on that GS?

I think the beauty of the MiG-29, especially in DCS, it's the simplicity. Most DCS players prefer the high fidelity modules, but the 29 being part of FC3 gives you the same level of satisfaction from playing an F-16/18 but with a fraction of the complexity. You jump in, shoot stuff and come back, don't have to deal with targeting computers, clickable cockpits, MFD modes, just a few dozen hotkeys to control everything.

@@rowdyace5719 The Jeff was designed from the ground up to fill the same fole as the F-5E: That of the inexpensive, but reasonably capable fighter designed to be exported to other countries (though the only known operator so far is Pakistan iinm). Weapon-wise, they have similar capabilities relative to other, more mainline fighters, such as the F-16. Yes, the F-5E has largely been phased out of most Air Forces (Iran, notable exception), but in lieu of other aircraft having been produced for said role, I still think it's a fair comparison and would make for an entertaining dogfight.
