MiG-9 is one of my favourites. In ground RB you'll seldom go up against other jets, so you can easily outrun them. And the large cannon is pretty satisfying. And I'm sure the enemy appreciates dying to cannons rather than bf-109 bombs

i think the best part of the mig 9 as a starter jet is that it teaches you the weird ballistics of the two 23's and the 37, sort of taking some of the load off of you when you finally get into the mig 15

Concerning the cannon exhaust fumes feeding into the engines. There was a prototype of MiG-9M, featuring a heavily redesigned nose, including weapons being moved to the sides of the nose (37mm to the left and twin 23mms to the right if I recall) in such a way that the muzzles wouldn't extend beyond the intake, solving the issue. However, by the time the prototype was ready, MiG-15 prototype was already made and undergoing testing, essentially making MiG-9 completely obsolete in every metric possible, so MiG-9M project never went anywhere

I actually spaded the Chinese MiG-9 (early) entirely in Ground RB. Used it for CAS and CAP at 7.3 and 8.0, and it was a wonderful experience harassing enemy planes and sniping engine decks on tanks. Was thinking I'd finally take the late model into Air RB, because I once heard it was incredibly good, but this just looks like average to decent.

It’s always great to see another video from Tim. It’s always great.

Really appreciate a review for one of the early jets.

dropped everything and came to watch this as soon as I saw the notification

Back in 2016, this thing slapped

i actually had a lot of fun even with the MiG-9. and the stock MiG-9 late feels like the spaded MiG-9. i should fly this one out sometime.

It’s funny to see how very old jet metas permeate today, namely the AP Belts for the Soviet jets as the Airtargets used to spark constantly

Nice review, as usual. I happened to spade the Mig-9l and the J-2 last week after playing them what feels like ages ago (the German and the Soviet one). It wasn't terrible but after also spading the F-84 and the Sabre it's quite a challenge to hit with those guns again, sometimes I couldn't hit the side of a barn, and rarely you pull off the most amazing (luck) shots. Well they are spaded now and honestly I feel no desire to play them anytime soon :)

I think they need to let you remove the fuel pods.

nice review as always! can you one day review an early sabre like the f-86A5 or cl13mk4

Hey Tim, have you ever thought of in the future remaking videos of aircraft and vehicles you have already reviewed so people can see how br and game implementations changed the game?

7:00 Whoa, I forgot they added trains as targets. Is this Air RB/SB only? I (for better or worse) usually stick to Air AB even for jets.

Still haven’t touched the Apache… and now that I think about it I’d rather see the AH-1z Viper

Play the yak9t to refresh before flying this, bolth have middling performance, huge guns and low shot counts

Hey tim would you be willing to do a review on the Yak-15 one of the most interesting and lowest br jets in the Soviet tech tree?

Rank 5 USSR air is very lackluster imo and it often feels lacking behind other nations.

noice one

Does vertical targeting for mig9 and mig15 makes it feel like other regular jets or will it make me shoot much higher at medium distances (600m-800m) ?

Remember kids an unupgraded Mig 9 Late has better performance than a fully upgraded Mig 9.

It's a bomber interceptor right? So side climb and hunt bombers?

Should i get Mig-9 or Su-9 first as first jet plane?

You should review the Japanese F-86F-40, it's a pretty decent plane, just a shame this thing always get uptiered to 9.7 and 10.0 :(

Back to Wednesday boys!

The mig 9 preforms better at 8.7

It’s a bit ironic how this aircraft in the real world was next to useless in real combat. But alas, it’s a fun plane! Anyways, thanks a ton for that radar tutorial. It’s helped me so much it’s not even funny
