Does Germany currently have MiG-29's in their AF aresenal? I hadn't thought about what re-unification would mean to their military.
And.. if the game has A-10's in it.. I'll be checking it out. I just hope they are kept to an attack role and not an A2A role.

Yes, Germany has MiG 29s.
There is a program on Discovery Wings from time to time about the German MiGs (they also have F4s) giving US pilots training in fighting against them. The one I saw on Discovery Wings was about some Navy F-18 drivers training to tangle with MiGs. Amazing in flight footage.
You've got to admire the MiG 29...can operate on the same field as a Cessna and perform with the F16s/F18s. Our American jets are real precision machines...a landing in a Cessna airport would be a disaster, wholly FOD damage to the engines and intakes
