MiG, ready to rule the skies!
- MiG pilot

The MiG Fighter is a Soviet anti-aircraft fighter used during the War of the Three Powers and the Uprising.


Ready to fight?

The MiG is a plane created by Mikevich and Guroyan, two young Soviet designers that joined forces to create a next-generation air superiority fighter after the fiasco of the KA-3 Tesla plane, the crash of which took the life of Krasna Aerospace's lead aircraft designer's life. With Krasna in disarray and predictions that the Soviet Union would be unable to create a credible air superiority fighter for at least a decade, the two began their work under the auspices of the Mikoyan-Gurevich Aircraft Design Bureau.


The end result is a formidable air dominance fighter, with a revolutionary design. Its main weapon, the Type M burst missile, can accurately track and destroy enemy aircraft, no matter how much electronic countermeasures it uses, thanks to the multiple smaller warheads embedded in each missile. In addition, the missile is capable of doing splash damage, due to its clustered warheads. As a missile, it take more room in MiG's than bullet in the Allied and Imperial counterpart. Therefore MiG deplete its ammo faster and make MiG more fragile, thanks to its exposed hardpoints.

Markedly, it is the first Soviet fighter to have full VTOL capability, allowing for it to be deployed close to the front line from temporary airbases. However, due to the lack of precision-machined parts in mass produced fighter, the transition from hovering to flight is not as smooth as one might think - many flight students are unable to perform the maneuver of transitioning, much to the chagrin of flight instructors. However, once mastered, flying the MiG is surprisingly straightforward.

  • Deals radial damage, rendering it more effective against massed targets than Apollo fighters.
  • Fast
  • Can RTB to return to base faster
  • A true rival to the F-11X Apollo Fighter and better than Jet Tengu
  • Much more effective against large targets than Apollos, because of burst damage.


  • Delays between salvos
  • Limited ammo
  • Cannot be repaired at the Airfield
  • Weaker armor compared to Apollo


Top speed!

The sky is ours!

They got my fuselage!




"MiG" comes from Mikoyan and Gurevich (Микоян и Гуревич), the heads of the Soviet design bureau who created the aircraft. This is a play on the names of the real life creators of the MiG aircraft line: Mikoyan and Gurevich (Микоян и Гуревич). This MiG resembles a cross between the real life MiG-15 and F-7U Cutlass fighters.


The Mig pilot is actually female judging by her voice in the game.
