razorseal Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Help me out guys! Sale time means new aircraft for me. I've been eyeing the Mig-21 and the M2000... Help me decide!!!! if you ask, what I'm looking for? Well... something fun to fly! lol I do all sorts of missions and enjoy both eras, really just looking for something fun. I've heard the M2000 is still not complete (like no TWS and RAZBAM sorta gave up on it) so that deters me, but that's just what I read on youtube comments and here etc. I remember Mig21 as one of the 1st third party planes to DCS, so it might be bit aged and not upto par? Mig19 would be fun too, but that's not here yet, plus I'll be waiting for a 50% on that one which I think will be a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigg Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I own and love the vodka rocket (well all old migs really). yeah its true she needs some love from the devs which is coming soon but it is one of the most fun and rewarding planes to fly when you get it right.

razorseal Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Mig 21 running strong! Come on peeps! I want to buy something tonight or this weekend LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephroth Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I've been really happy with the Mirage. It may not be complete but it does almost everything for most missions. The included campaign is awesome as well, really helps teach the rest of the systems. It is more analog than the Hornet but not as much as the F5. I really enjoy flying it.

Home Fries Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 A vote for the M2000C and a clarification. The M2000C does have TWS mode, but since it’s only Fox1 capable it needs STT to engage BVR. What you’re thinking of is the ground radar. RAZBAM is waiting for ED to implement ground radar in the Hornet, then planning to port the tech to the M2000. So they’re not “giving up” on the module. I think it’s a lot of fun to fly. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoomer Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) I like the MiG but the Mirage is more versatile and a really nice aircraft to fly. Both aircraft are receiving an update, the larger one for the Mirage I believe. Of course both are well worth the sale price if you can stretch to it, but atm I find the Mirage my 2nd goto after the F/A-18. If the Mirage had the ability to lase targets it would great. I`d buy the two-seater D version w/o question if released. Edited February 2, 2019 by Zoomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dehuman Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Love both of these heaps, but I'd say get the MiG if you're only allowed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrustvector Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 now, I love the mig,BUT I don't really fly it much, probably due to its unforgiving nature...im not too sure. its the only one of all my modules that I cant jump back into and remember all or most of what to do. out of the 2 I would now go for the mirage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1966 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 mig-21. challenging and rewarding when you learn its strengths and weakness.

razorseal Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 I'm gonna be honest... I'm not too good with planes that are unforgiving (no FBW etc). I don't currently have rudders, and the twist joystick thing doesn't work too well, so I stall these planes often. I love the WWII stuff, but I'm so horrible with them for 2 reasons 1. my track IR stops tracking when I look directly up (I had the headset accessory which broke twice, so I don't wanna get it again) 2. No rudder so there are some movements that is not easy for me to do. I need to get a rudder before I get in to F14 lol. That being said, I love challenging older planes, which is why I'm leaning towards the Mig, but I do know that the M2 will be easier to fly for me, which will be rewarding. I also prefer turn and burn vs boom and zoom, and I know that the mig is not a turn and burn plane, but the M2 is (correct me if I'm wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaal Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I recommend the Mirage. It's modern enough to have Fox1 missiles, synthetic runway on the HUD, a decent radar with IFF, etc. But old enough not to have a complex clutter of systems and menus. It's powerful but not confusing.

razorseal Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Pretty bummed, I have 26 bucks in bonus points. Just realized it doesn't work as I thought (bonus points to use at my discretion)... Apparently I can only apply 30% to cost of module, and only on non sale products... Considering I now just wait to buy modules when they go on sale, I have 26 bucks of bonus points I'll never use... I was going to say screw it and buy both. Now I really have to choose. BUMMER lol leaning towards M2 btw. There seems to be a midlife upgrade coming to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birko Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I'd have to sway more towards the 21. I have both aircraft, and they're both jolly good. It depends whether you want to fly a plane fighting to keep you alive, or fight with a plane trying to fly you to your death. (that's a bit of an exaggeration, but wait until your first landing ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev2go Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 totally different eras of aviation. if you like old cold war aircraft from a 1950ss vintage design with a more modern 1970s production version of said design, go Mig21, if you want a 4th generation fighter with FBW system and overall more modern systems and weapons go M2000.
