I shot down a Mig-21 with a Huey rocket the other day. SO much fun in there.
Nice job!!
Mid Cold War jet combat is loads of fun and easily learned in planes like the MiG-19, MiG-21, F-5E etc etc. I'd bet dollars to donutes the Mirage F1 is loads of fun also but I have no idea on what the learning curve is like in that one yet.
Early missile combat is unreliable so it's not a matter of launching all your missiles and then going home with a bag of heads. You just might launch all your missiles and have none of them hit and have to resort to gun combat. (Oh, the horror!!!
) You might also hit with a missile or two and still have to resort to gun combat.
