In World of Warplanes, the aeronautical sister game to World of Tanks, there are now, with patch 1.6, the legendary Russian MiGs.
Anyone who grew up with US films has heard the phrase a thousand times: “MiG approaching.” Mikoyan-Gurevich (hence the name), a Russian defense company, has been producing MiGs since 1940, fighter jets that arguably represented the Soviet Union’s air fleet like no other aircraft – or the red menace, as it was called during the Cold War. These things were so well known to a Western audience that for some films (like Top Gun) even custom MiG models were created to chase the heroes.
MiGs had been missing in World of Warplanes. This has now changed with patch 1.6. It also brings aircraft that are suitable for multiple roles and occupy a space between light and heavy aircraft.
More about this can be found in a blog post by the developers. And here is the complete presentation of patch 1.6 for World of Warplanes.
