This aircraft, produced by Magnitude 3 LLC, is a fantastic representation of the MiG-21Bis.
If you could describe the MiG in one sentence, it would be like telling your 102 year old grandfather that he's getting drafted.

The MiG-21 is a challenging, feisty, but fun plane to fly. It has no fly-by-wire; featuring hydraulically-boosted controls. If you pull too hard or push the aircraft past its limits, it will bite back.

The vehicle comes with a selection of many weapon choices allowing you to push this ancient frame to good use.
It has good IR missiles, but the radar missiles are akin to a drunkard. It might track... But as soon as the enemy aircraft turns, you can say au revoir to your missile. They are unable to follow aircraft into any form of a "tight turn" meaning you're restricted to using them against oblivious enemies to give the missiles the best chance of intercepting.

The bomb selection is nice, featuring a variety of standard bombs in different explosive sizes along with other alternatives. However, the pièce de résistance is the nuclear option. You can carry nukes. They are incredibly fun to use, but you cannot use them in multiplayer as they are banned amongst generally all servers (for a VERY VALID reason).

The MiG-21Bis was my 2nd full-fidelity module. I absolutely adore it, as it is a joy to fly. Even when you're going up against aircraft that are considered modern, it is absolutely thrilling being able to down an unsuspecting F-16 or F-18. You will feel so rewarded when downing an aircraft much more capable than your own, as most of the times you will be dying or wishing you were dead when you fly this thing against aircraft capable of firing BVR missiles.

If you want a plane that is challenging but rewarding, this is the plane for you.
The plane is much more basic compared to modern contemporaries so it forces you to think outside the box. It will make you a better pilot and you will thank yourself later for your choice.

P.S If you do want to forget your horrible sortie after dying countless times, feel free to drink the alcohol from the *convenient* alcohol cooled radar.
