Mig-21, Mirage, or Draken?

[AddMann]

I have everything in the US tree and while phantoms are fun i want to play some other nation. Id like to know which of these planes are the most fun to play? I know the draken can do a cobra because of how maneuverable it is but the Mig-21 seems like a better investment b/c its one of the bigger nations that will get more planes down the line. whilst the mirage looks fun im not sure if it would be worth the grind.

TL;DR: which plane is more fun to play?

Getting someone else's POV on a plane in moot since everyone has different play styles and what they consider fun.

You can't go wrong with a Mig, it's a well round jet. The only thing good on a Mirage is its missiles. Heck go for Russia mate, one day we may get the Flanker which is my most favorite jet our there.. :D

I would have to say go for the Mig-21. Everyone else basically have gimmicks that don't win battles.

Um, no? by fun i mean something that is satisfying to play, plus top tier 'playstyle' is either BnZ or fast turn fights.

Beware of the first MiG 21 though, it does very well when put into 10.0, 9.7 and down but if it gets sucked into 10.7 it becomes useless, and the stock grind on them can be quite difficult because of the gun.

that shouldnt be a problem, the reason i made this thread was to decide what tier V premium i would buy to use to grind so if the stock grind gets too bad ill just go back to grinding with the Mig-17as

Alright then happy MiG grinding, also the MiG 21 BIS is being added this update and seemingly will have its 1:1 thrust modeled when flying clean on minimal fuel.
