F-15 Eagle
Engines.................2
Max Range............1881 nm
VmaxHi.................1338 knots
VmaxLo.................810 knots
Ceiling...................64,350 ft.
Loadout.................M61A1 20mm Vulcan
Fighter type ..........Third
Maneuv.................Very good
The F-15 was designed to counter what was
supposed to be a Russian superfighter: the MiG-25
Foxbat. When it was discovered that the Foxbat was
a dedicated interceptor and not an air superiority
fighter at all, the F-15 was left as the premier fighter
aircraft in the world. It has impressive top speed and
turning ability for a large fighter. Be very careful
when engaging this plane.
MiG-21 Fishbed
Engines.................1
Max Range............531 nm
VmaxHi.................1204 knots
VmaxLo.................540 knots
Ceiling...................60,125 ft.
Loadout.................GSh-23 23mm cannon
Fighter type ..........First
Maneuv.................Good
The MiG-21 is an antique in the 21st century, but its
low price and the huge numbers produced during
the cold war will keep it in service for some time to
come. In most air forces, it serves as a ground attack
aircraft, but in poorer countries and squadrons it
performs intercept and CAP missions as well.
MiG-29 Fulcrum
Engines.................2
Max Range............806 nm
VmaxHi.................1260 knots
VmaxLo.................700 knots
Ceiling...................59,800 ft.
Loadout.................30 mm cannon
Fighter type ..........Third
Maneuv.................Very good to excellent
The Fulcrum is a good match for the F-16, and
indeed, both planes were designed for the same
general mission: short range air intercept and
ground attack missions. The MiG-29 is marginally
more survivable due to the twin engine design.
