OverStratos Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) As an MiG-19 module update is near I thought it was good to post some pictures about an important step of the development process.

asla36 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) will be a blast to get into the merge with this flying a fourteen kitty ^^ ... And see how much flying a 22 year newer (A-variant) aircraft gives you an advantage, though I am not sure if the MiG-19p will be able to out-turn a Tomcat... In which case with proper evasion tactics it is gonna be a really dangerous bird to fly against!. The MIG-21bis should be from the same time period as you (same year!) and the main opponent that it was designed to face (Bear aside)! :) Still, the MiG-23M would also be same year (a few months earlier that year, but still)! And in my opinion, a much more worthy opponent than the MiG-21bis. :D It's a shame we won't be getting one. :( *EDIT* A lot of aviation things happened in 1972! :D Edited April 28, 2017 by asla36 Of which, thau can see above.

Paradox Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's an interesting point, does anyone here know what sort of turn performance a MiG-19p had? It seems to me to straddle the line between dedicated interceptor and fighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Puncake Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) so glad we are getting another Russian aircraft to fly. DCS would be empty if we only had Western aircraft. I also think the Shenyang interceptor being developed would complement the mig 19 nicely in combat Edited April 28, 2017 by Major Puncake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungaromaus Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 MiG-19P as on Wikipedia : "Version equipped with RP-1 Izumrud radar in the nose and armed with 2 23 mm NR-23 (later 2 30 mm NR-30) cannons in the wings. Had provision for an unguided rocket pack under each wing, elongated tailfin fillet, all-moving tailplane, third airbrake added behind the ventral fin. Vympel K-13 (AA-2 'Atoll') air-to-air missile (AAM) capability was added late in its service life; entered production in 1955." So will we get the K-13 missiles too ?

I also think the Shenyang interceptor being developed would complement the mig 19 nicely in combat As far as I can tell, it seems to be a mix of the MiG-23 and Su-15 (both birds I would really like to see in DCS! :D). So if we were to get one... Nice! :) Though the MiG-23 and Su-15 are still the originals, and for that I think they would have more mass appeal. ;) DCS: MiG-23 [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC] Make it happen, and take my money! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 J-8 II is a different, distinct aircraft from China. Though, it can perhaps be argued that, its roots may loosely be traced to MiG-21, that would be a fairly distant origin. Long story (somewhat) short: China were to licence produce MiG-21F, but a fall out in relations with Soviet Union happened, but China decided to continue the project with what they had, resulting in J-7, kind of a distinct line of MiG-21 that got more and more diversified from original Soviet aircraft. Crazy as it may sound, J-7 stayed in production until 2013 apparently. Latest versions very much yummy to think about but I digress. Well, China decided they need a bigger interceptor too, so they've first tried to enlarge what they already had, first J-8 was kind of like a gigantic MiG-21 with two engines, with characteristic pen nose and all. That one didn't perform all that well though, and a redesign resulted in J-8II, the one we see in the link, with a more F-4/MiG-23/Su-15ish look to it, at least as far as the nose part goes. Its wings however, are still essentially supersized MiG-21 wings. The more red birds, the merrier :P. Specifically for me, the more obscure birds, the merrier! :) Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably be easier to get documentation on as well, since the J-8II is in service with the Chinese. And they seem to be a bit secretive, gotta hope it's old enough... :( Still, would be a day-1 buy for me! But the MiG-23 would just be a more "hypey" day-1 buy! :D Edited April 28, 2017 by asla36 Missed a word! :I DCS: MiG-23 [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC] Make it happen, and take my money! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 i love the mig-23 and all but this is a mig-19 thread meanwhile there's a recent mig-23 topic in the lounge that literally nobody replied to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muamshai Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 meanwhile there's a recent mig-23 topic in the lounge that literally nobody replied to Because that thread is about MiG-23 information, as the poster pointed it out in first 2 lines. Quite understandable if someone don't have any information to share..yet And if someone is interested to know about MiG-23 development then here is the response from official channel. Can be copy and pasted if someone asks about it. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3056848&postcount=1 As the MiG-23 was not authorized, we started to push our second project which is the MiG-19. I´ve been swiming in MiG-19s and MiG-19 documentation for the past two months as at the beginning it was supposed that we would have more time to gather all the necessary data and as a consequence, some info is still missing. We appreciate any help. A new historically accurate MiG-19P model is being made. I will be posting some work in progress pictures of the new MiG-19 model around next week.
