If it got R-77 it should be 12.7+
If it was only R-73 and R-27 12.0 should be fine.
Would be a really neat addition though.

I agree, I had made the post before R-73s came to fighters. Yeah now the best thing would be 12.0 with 2 r73 and 2 r27s.
Imho this, the MiG23-98, the F-20 Tigershark and other similar planes would all have been perfect addition for the game, but I think Gaijin now wants to really rush to 4+ gen fighters.

Would be absolutely amazing to see this beast in game

11.7, with four R-73/4x R-60 + 2x R-27R1
Just remember it is still a MiG-21 and loses speed in dogfights quickly

+1 If gaijin denied ARH BVRAAM R-77 and not consider add on Yak-141
I guess MiG-21-93 might be early fighter aircraft with active radar homing BVRAAM, and could add to tech tree before MiG-29S (9-13S) & MiG-29SMT (9-19)
This was originally my suggestion post on the old forum:

Didn’t know it was already suggested there… didn’t see it in the already suggested aircraft lift so decided to do it :D
Also borrowed the countermeasure count from your post as that was missing in mine
Good to see you back on the forum.👍

Would you mind throwing the old-forum thread in the original post sources please?
Not at all (just edited and included it)… sorry for not putting it in in the first place, I probably forgot to do so when I included the info

This might be a bit controversial but I’d love to see the -93 in the Soviet tree and the Bison in the British tree, both as premium or event vehicles. I don’t think there’s really room in the Soviet tree for it to be a tech tree vehicle, and while Britain could really use a top tier light fighter it’d be unfair for them to get it as Tech Tree but the Soviets as a premium, unless it’s added as part of a complete Indian subtree.
imho there is plenty of space for the MiG-21-93 in a folder after the MiG-29… the whole point of it was to be an even cheaper aircraft than the MiG-29 to export
Really hope we see those deep upgrades of cold war vehicles with modern weapons soon. Unfortunately, we’re more likely to get 4th gens that are either artificially downgraded for balance or just keep powercreeping top tier.

Yeah, I personally don’t like foldering vehicles of completely unrelated families and unlike design, especially when one of both of those vehicle families are widespread in the game.
I’d personally place the -93 under the 21bis, but then no one would grind it.
Alternatively, it could potentially bridge the gap between the Su-17M4 and Su-27, if that is where the Su-27 ends up.
The Bars-29 radar (OSA) was first introduced in 1998 in Farnborough…It was offered as an alternative version of the KOPYO radar for the modernization of the MiG-21 as well as for the MiG-29SMT…

Bars-29 and Osa are two different radars (check pm)
i think it would be a good 11.7-11.3. good radar and everything but still a mig 21 platform
this is an outdated aircraft, it will be of little use
Suggestion passed to the developers for consideration.
