I think this is one of the best Soviet jets to talisman. It's rank 7 so it can grind top tier (for now anyway, but rank 9 is not coming for a while), it won't see too many troublesome additions around it, it doesn't see top tier and it won't be moved in BR. I talismaned it during the sale since pretty much all of my friends I play with also have it tali'd. So worth it, I'm having a blast with it. It's a much better and more exciting grinder than the Su-7BMK (worth mentioning that I bought that one just after the MLD came out, wasn't so terrible back then).

A minor bit of useless knowledge - The pod that the MiG-21SMT seem to came with at the centerline pylon by default is the SPS-141 Jammer & Countermeasure pod, even though ECM isn't in game yet. Whether this is a prelude to eventually adding ECM capability into the game or simply just to give the SMT some countermeasure slot is unknown. Also...there's a nuke control box in the cockpit. As this thing was added into War Thunder before nuke, why Gaijin included it is unknown.

I do wanna mention hat the MiG21 (and its chinese variants) fly a bit like a mix of a rate and radius fighter, against stuff like F5s and other energy maneuverability fighters it can easily keep up in one circles but against other deltas and phantoms its better to fly it into rate fights, my guess is that the tailed delta config minimizes the aoa of the delta wing but and keeps some energy retention Thats at least how I've experienced the mig21 in my many years if flying it in warthunder sim

You know I’m going off of memory here but if I remember right the MF is a lot better in most maps because it’s a LOT lighter. The SMT is very fat, which plays to its advantage on the huge EC maps because it’s got a lot of extra fuel so you can go max blast for a lot longer

@SerosNym

SMT has a great deal more engine power -- a stock SMT has more thrust than a fully upgraded MF, though the extra weight of the SMT is a factor, especially if you fill up its larger fuel tanks. I find the speed difference in combat to be very noticeable, an SMT will leave an MF in the dust in a drag race, but the MF can still perform and has a slight edge in agility due to the lighter weight.
