I should note that the stats of the MiG-21, like many planes in Ace Combat 7, are deceptive if not an outright lie. It's actually exceptionally agile, and with gunpods is one of the best close-in dogfighters in the game. It's not uncommon to see MiG-21s on top of the scoreboard in multiplayer matches, especially if fighting other "low tier" planes. Other than that, this thing is usually my go-to fighter for starting off in an Ace Combat game. I tend to fly very aggressively, and its characteristics favor that sort of flying.
I always play in cockpit view whenever possible when playing Ace Combat. I remember grinding for the Mig-21-93 in Ace Combat 5 was rough because the cockpit tunnel visioned you. With the slow lock on, and sluggish controls, coupled with the small cockpit it makes it difficult to fly. It was meant for interception, but, it's cool that you get to fly an aircraft like this in Ace Combat, always found it did have charm despite all of the cons.
It always feels good to top score on AC7 MP with MGP Mig 21. Gunning down high tier aircraft if they dare cross your nose cone. Also one of the best choices for the Guns only run.
I remember grabbing this as soon as I saw it the first time I played AC5. I usually stick to American planes, but I had seen it so many times on TV shows I immediately recognized it as “one of the weird looking Cold War jets.”
Interesting thing about the MiG-21 in Ace Combat. The real plane has no ability to refuel mid-air. Project Aces added the fuel probe and animation just to make it usable on the missions that require refueling. Where the probe extends out in game would basically have it in the middle of the engine when stowed, and have no ability to move fuel to the tank. Still, it looks good, and they’ve kept it consistent through every game.
One thing I'd like to see in these videos are the special variants from Infinity (and maybe Assault Horizon Legacy+ as well) as they have different stats and weaponry

That thumbnail just makes me think the migs are sniffing us…

21 in AC7 is the god of multiplayer matches
The graphics of this aircraft on History Channel´s Dogfights made it beautiful to watch

Absolutely love this series. Sick videos
It would be a cool addition showing a comparison of the cockpit cameras from across the games.
I'm glad I stumbled on your channel. I grew up with these games and it's always nice to here new perspectives.
I love these man keep up the great work!

I personally remember the Fishbed carrying my AC7 Machine Gun only run
Loooove this plane, my fav underdog plane aling with F 5
Another certified classic
The mig21 is one of my top 5 fav jets

Omg next ep F16 my beloved i cant wait
Definition of quality of quantity
Ah, yes. The flying pencil.
Hey! What a good plane that is, am I right? Great video mate!
I always thought the stats didn’t actually correlate with the aircraft very well. Has anyone tested that notion?
I once managed to beat the Ace Combat X in MiG-21. Good times...
This was the one low tier plane I never touched outside of unlocking all planes in AC5. I guess the nose doesn’t help.
Great video!
Great editing, and narration!
Very informative! God bless, Jesus loves you!
How u playing AC infinity?
he isn't, he's getting footage from other players and deducing stuff based on AcePedia
mid-21
