March 12, 20242 yr comment_88194 I just got curious this morning on if the MIG 23 would be ever coming to DCS and low and behold, I saw this article https://stormbirds.blog/2024/01/24/dcs-mig-23mla-status-update-from-razbam/ If this gets released this year, would we start implementing these? I dont know that much on the 23 but it looks like a really cool aircraft! Report

And the MiG-17 as well: https://stormbirds.blog/2024/01/01/red-star-simulations-mig-17-update/ Report
March 12, 20242 yr Author comment_88201 Kinda went down a rabbit hole with the 23, saw a Enigma video explaining how the 23 is the "missing puzzle piece" for the cold war game loop and I have to say he made some good points with his presentation. Report

Will the 17 be more of a guns approach then a missile approach? Report

Yeah, the MiG-23 is very important for REDFOR. The first Soviet look-down/shoot-down radar system. It'll be a game changer on servers like Engima's. 59 minutes ago, Raptor said: Stop me if I am completely misreading this, but it looks like the 17 will be rely heavily on its gun tracking systems? Will the 17 be more of a guns approach then a missile approach? The MiG-17 is primarily a gunfighter. No missiles in early models. Missiles only in later models. MiG-17PF and beyond. The MiG-19 is transitional - mostly gunfighter, again with a limited missile capability. However, rate-fighting maneuverable gunfighters, using the right tactics, can be used to devastating effectiveness. Report

Definitely looking forward to the MiG-17/23/29 that are all in development. I wonder if RAZBAM will put a pilot model in the 19 when they do the 23? Report
