I've been flying the Mig for a bit in Il2 and its not a bad plane, esp. the 2xShvaK model, it's no La-5 but was it really this good IRL? But of course the 3d model and esp. the cockpit are dated. Last edited by Tempest123; 11-20-2010 at 02:51 PM. |

However, some pilots, managed to use it's advantages and performed very well in it. One of the most famous Soviet aces, Pokrishkin earned his first victories in MiG-3 and kept it in high regard. But then again, he used a correct tactics for the plane, avoiding dogfights and using BnZ tactics. I think, it's fairly well modeled form FM point of view. |

I realy enjoy the mig-3. Weapons on it is kinda well...some good some bad......
It comes down to how you fly the plane. Normaly i go to some aviation site where i read about the planes operations, and try to adopt a flying style that is most suitet for the plane type. What i in general are using is z&b in all planes, just work within the limitations of altitude and speed. Even the zero is a decent B&z`er if you keep it within its envolope... The biggest isue we have from the RL war and our sim war is that we have the info on what some did wrong, or what they didnt figure out, so we can use the wastness of information to avoid the same errors, and that will make some planes look and fly better in a online world than reportet by RL history.... The Mig-3 ran into that problem for me on a online server last night, i shot down a few 109`s and ended up in a debate about FM`s and UFO`s..... |

The biggest problem I have flying the MiG is that the armament is largely inadequate on normal front line models (1xUB and 2xShKAS) and it's maneuverability during a boom and zoom mean that if the enemy evades at all ... he'll get away. It's quite unlike other boom and zoom types that I'm used to. So I usually end up bleeding some speed to get a shot in and the 109 is also more agile. MiG has to be the most frustrating aircraft for me. The poor visibility for deflection gunnery doesn't help either
Any tips on overcoming these? For the record I flew the entire MiG-3 campaign that comes with IL-2 1946 and it was a painful experience

Basically the PZL P11c was Il2's first ever officially approved user mod If I remember correctly it was developed by an enthusiast and included as a bonus with the original IL2. As far as i know the cockpit, damage model and FM have remained pretty much intact since the original version. The damage model is very strong you can ram with a PZL Pllc and rip wings off other planes and fly away intact. The main issue with the FM is that Vmax is substantially below what the real aircraft could achieve. |

I find that forcing the fight up instead of down works sometimes, and always use rudder and aileron together, it will help the roll a lot. It is one of the fastest 1941 aircraft in the game at high altitudes, faster than a 109F. I tend to disengage if the opponent goes down low, cuz you will have a tough time. |

I do prefer the twin SHVAK models, and so far I've only played offline. Last edited by Igo kyu; 11-22-2010 at 12:09 AM. |
