== Description ==

During the early '50s, a design proposal for an upgraded MiG-15, titled the MiG-15bis (second), was issued. The main upgrade was the new VK-1 engine, offering considerably more thrust. The MiG-15bis saw massive export to almost every corner of the world, and the neighbouring Eastern Bloc was no exception. The Hungarian Air Force was one of the primary MiG-15bis operators of the time, and was also one of the countries acting as an "interceptor net" for the USSR. As a result, Hungarian MiG-15bis aircraft took part in many interceptions of NATO aircraft probing in their airspace. This culminated on 19 November 1951, when MiG-15bis pilot 1st Lieutenant A. A. Kalugin forced a USAF C-47 to land at the Hungarian airbase at Pápa, after it had penetrated Hungarian airspace. The Hungarian MiG-15bis would serve for many years before eventually being replaced by the [[MiG-17PF (Italy)|MiG-17]] and [[MiG-21MF (Italy)|MiG-21]] for the frontline fighter and interceptor roles respectively.

Introduced in [[Update "Alpha Strike"]], the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Hungarian operated copy of the [[MiG-15bis]] found in the Hungarian sub-tree of the Italian tech tree. The Hungarian MiG-15bis is a identical copy of the one found in the Soviet and [[MiG-15bis (Germany)|German]] tech trees, and performs identically to them. Having the powerful VK-1 engine and strong firepower, the MiG-15bis shines with its overall performance against a majority of jets that it faces, though it still requires attention to enemy missiles and strong trigger discipline for the limited ammunition onboard. Alternatively, in full uptiers, it can form the backmarker of the team rather than the tip of the spear, picking off distracted targets and being able to fight back against even some supersonic jets in close-in dogfights due to its incredible dogfighting performance for its speed and weight class, along with being a very small target to hit.

If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Great acceleration
* Excellent climb rate
* Powerful armament: the 37 mm and 23 mm combination can shatter targets in a few well-placed hits
* Good manoeuvrability, thanks to its low wing loading
* Great service ceiling
* Good high-altitude performance compared to other jets at its BR
* Rockets can double as flares, which is useful in uptiers

'''Cons:'''

* Slow roll rate, especially at high speeds
* Control surfaces stiffen up at high speeds
* Cannons are hard to aim, due to different trajectories
* Low ammo count for cannons
* No air-to-air missiles
* Poor cockpit visibility in Simulator Battles

== Description ==

Similar to the stories of the "[[F-104G (Germany)|Widowmaker]]" in the West due to its high accident rate, the Eastern Bloc had its own equivalent. The MiG-21 in Hungarian service was one of the most deadly aircraft to its own pilots ever in Hungarian history. Hungary received hundreds of MiG-21s throughout the years, which ended up in 72 total airframe losses and 32 pilot fatalities due to accidents resulting from various problems. Faulty engines in Hungarian MiG-21 batches, improper training, and lack of maintenance on the older models, all resulted in the infamous reputation of the MiG-21 as a widowmaker in the Hungarian Air Force. One of these widowmakers was the MiG-21MF variant, of which Hungary acquired 50 between 1971 and 1974 before being supplemented by the more advanced [[MiG-21bis-SAU (Italy)|MiG-21bis]] just three years later. The MiG-21s saw very long service with Hungary even after the fall of the USSR, with the last MiG-21MFs being retired in 1996.

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (NATO Code: Fishbed-J) was introduced in [[Update "Alpha Strike"]] in the Hungarian sub-tree of the Italian tech tree. Like the other third-generation MiG-21 airframes, this one features a built-in [[GSh-23-2 (23 mm)|GSh-23]] cannon under the fuselage instead of an external Gsh-23L gunpod, meaning it does not have to sacrifice the cannon to take the SPS-141 countermeasures pod. In addition to that improvement, the MiG-21MF has a potent arsenal of weaponry for its battle rating, namely the [[R-60]] air-to-air missile. Combined with its incredible high speed manoeuvrability and overall gameplay loop, the MiG-21MF is a very potent fighter aircraft for its tier. Do be wary, however, that while the MiG-21MF is indeed lighter than its Soviet counterpart, the [[MiG-21SMT]], the SMT has a far better engine, which allows it to win longer dogfights easier assuming both planes start on equal footing. All in all, the MiG-21MF provides acceptable air support and welcomed choice variety to the pilots of the Italian tech tree around this battle rating.

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics.

IL-28 (Italy)

== Description ==

The IL-28 (Italy) is an Italian jet bomber introduced in [[Update "Alpha Strike"]] with a Battle Rating of 8.0 (AB/RB/SB).

In the late 1950s, the Hungarian Air Force acquired IL-28 bombers from the Soviet Union. It would see service during the Cold War, eventually being replaced in Hungarian service by the [[Su-22M3 (Italy)|Su-22M3]] in the frontline bomber/strike role. This aircraft's camouflage represents IL-28 no.'55' of the Hungarian Air Force, currently on display in the Airplane Museum of Szolnok, in Szolnok, Hungary.

In-game, the Hungarian IL-28 is identical to its [[IL-28|Soviet brother]], and as such it will perform identically. This aircraft fills the role of the "fast frontline bomber", like the previous propeller-engined [[Tu-2S-59 (Italy)|Tu-2S-59]]. This role focuses on interdicting the enemy airspace quickly, striking targets precisely, and then leaving before enemy fighters can intercept. The Hungarian IL-28 may find itself at an advantage when doing this at its battle rating, due to its airspawn and powerful tail gunners. All in all, this bomber can teach players of the Italian tech tree the playstyle of high speed interdiction and strike bombing, preparing them for future aircraft in this line such as the following [[Su-22M3 (Italy)|Su-22M3]].

If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* Powerful rear 23 mm cannon turret
* Very fast - many early jet fighters cannot catch it at top speed
* Powerful and flexible ordnance capacity
* Highly armoured tail gunner position
* Gunner can cover a large area of the rear and the sides because of the turret design
* Good acceleration

'''Cons:'''

* Fuel tanks are not protected by any armour
* Fairly small payload compared to its counterparts
* Able to be intercepted by Korean War-era jet aircraft
* Poor roll rate; any wing damage will often result in a roll that is impossible to pull out of
* Cockpit features no rear visibility
* Fast acceleration means that you might break the wings if you don't pay attention
* Forward guns are primarily for self-defense head-ons, as they're hard to aim with poor flight manoeuvrability
