Oct 9, 2023 ยท Currently, the IAF has three MiG-21 squadrons with a total of around 50 aircraft. After its induction in the early 1960s, the IAF procured more than 870 MiG-21 fighters of different versions to boost its overall combat prowess. The MiG-21 Bison, an upgraded version of the MiG-21bis, was first inducted into service in 1976.
Yes, the 21 definitely has better AoA than any 23, but the MLD has better AoA than the 23M. MiG-23, with the R-60Ms now a factor and it's fixed flight model it isn't even a contest. The MiG-21bis is obsolete as a top tier aircraft. Tough call now.
The F/A-18 is a pretty good jack of all trades plane for someone who is new to this sort of stuff. It can do A/A, A/G, SEAD, whatever you need it to. The MiG-21 is like using a pistol in call of duty. You don't do it because its the best. You do it because you enjoy the challenge and dont mind being ad a disadvantage.

Its just the tt mig21bis with premium bonuses. Its a good plane at probably the worst br in the game. If you get a full uptier, which are common, you

Nov 7, 2023 ยท Jan 4, 2023. Back in the late 1960s- early 1970s, there were some projects of the MiG-21 with larger wings of less sweep and 6 hardpoints, one still delta with very small LERX-es, and one with even less sweep, LE devices and LERX-es like on F-5E, either of them would have been good on a bis airframe, offering increased turning performance.
