The DCS MiG-15bis module comprehensively covers this first-generation jet fighter in an unprecedented level, from its accurate flight model down to every single flip-switch.

As with any DCS World module, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. As a newcomer to DCS World, I’ve gotten a lot of joy out of dogfighting the MiG-15’s counterpart from the Korean War, the F-86 Sabre, where air combat relied primarily on pilot skill and taking full advantage of the early jet fighters' strengths. With that said, there’s lot of room for improvement in my dogfighting abilities, but I do feel like I’m improving with experience, and I’m also looking to delve deeper into MiG-15’s finer details, such as performing a cold startup from memory.

The biggest knock against this module is that it’s very lacking in prebuilt missions and campaigns. It would be really nice to fly some historical Korean War missions. Perhaps they may show up in a future update or module, but for now, the DCS website has some user-created missions and liveries that will adequately hold me over for now.

Aside from its shortcomings, the MiG-15bis is a great module for anyone interested in studying this feared Soviet aircraft. I highly recommend a HOTAS joystick system and a head-tracking device such as TrackIR.
