 The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
 * Without load
 * 2 x R-3S missiles
 * 2 x 100 kg OFAB-100 bombs (200 kg total)
 * 2 x 250 kg OFAB-250sv bombs (500 kg total)
-* 16 x S-5K rockets
+{{Navigation-End}}
 The MiG-19PT can carry two heat seeking R-3S air to air missiles on under-wing pylons. The missiles have a 10G overload with 8.8 kg TNT explosive equivalent, which is enough to nearly guarantee a downed enemy aircraft if they hit. They travel at a speed of 1,000 m/s which is average for air to air missiles. The ideal use-case for the missiles is for a very low-speed or distracted enemy, as it is very easy to dodge an R3S.

-The Mig-19 (NATO Code: Farmer) was a Soviet jet designed during the early 1950s. It was a key component of the Soviet Union's air defense plan and served as a vital complement to fighter-interceptor duties. The Mig-19 was known to be a formidable foe in aerial combat due to its reputation for impressive speed, being the first Soviet-produced aircraft to reach supersonic speeds in level flight, and its respectable maneuvrability. Although the majority of its service in the Soviet Union was spent on routine interceptions, it is best known for its role in the Vietnam War. As its legacy grew, the Mig-19 underwent continuous refinement, giving rise to a diverse range of variants that extended its service life. Among these was the '''{{Specs|name}}''', a single Mig-19P modified to carry the R-3S "Atoll" missiles, which showcased the aircraft's adaptability and ingenuity.

 The MiG-19 carries two 30 mm NR-30 cannons, mounted in the wing roots. Each gun has 70 rounds of ammunition, making a total of 140 rounds. The NR-30 cannons are very fast firing so this is not much ammo, and you can't afford to spray. The guns however are extremely powerful, and only a couple of rounds hitting an enemy aircraft will severely cripple them, if not outright destroy them. The shell velocity is very high and you don't need much lead to hit a target.
-The recommended belts for this aircraft are Ground Targets, they're more reliable than the Air Target belts and tend to take off wings and large sections, and destroy engines with one hit, in comparison to the air target belts which tend to spark or just damage external modules. The ground belts contain APHE rounds with 60 mm of penetration, but it is not really worth going for ground targets as the limited ammunition and high speed of the aircraft makes it very difficult to hit or destroy anything.

 However, the plane is weighed down by its somewhat inferior manoeuvring energy retention, bad low speed manoeuvrability and poor high speed handling. Compression at high Mach numbers slows the roll rate significantly and makes the rudder nearly entirely unresponsive, though MiG-19PT generally has a very responsive elevator. Despite how the acceleration can make up for it, be careful not to turn excessively, as that will bleed much speed due to the poor manoeuvring energy retention.
-The performance of the plane doesn't suffer too much when it's stock. It can still out accelerate Phantoms and climb from sea level at 1100km/h up to 10km in a single zoom climb without any modifications.

-The MiG-19, like most jets, cannot fly well with damage. However, the wing spars can be somewhat tanky, able to absorb several 20 mms or 12.7 mm rounds, perhaps allowing you to return to the airfield safely to repair. One benefit of the MiG is that the elevators are separate to each other in the damage model, and therefore a hit to the tail causing an elevator loss isn't the end of the world, since the remaining one is good enough to continue the fight. The elevators can also act as damage absorbers, taking the brunt of otherwise lethal damage. Occasionally, you may find that a missile has struck the plane, blowing off an elevator but leaving the plane still flyable. Another point to note is that loss of oil in either engine will rapidly cause engine failure, so it is best to return to base ASAP when damaged.

-After taking its first flight in 1954, the MiG-19 became a worldwide sensation – it was the first mass-produced aircraft capable of breaking the sound barrier in horizontal flight after taking off from the ground. Although it was the most advanced combat aircraft of its day, the MiG-19 also had certain problems with maneuverability, and certain other improvements also took shape that were then used in the upgraded versions of the MiG-19. The fighter received an all-movable stabilizer that significantly improved its flight characteristics, enhanced control and braking systems, and new, more powerful 30mm guns instead of 23mm guns. One of the most interesting modifications was the MiG-19PT fighter-interceptor, which was developed especially for the installation of K-13 (P-3C) air-to-air missiles. This missile was strongly influenced by the extremely successful American Sidewinder, models of which the Soviet Union received from China. The MiG-19PT's flight tests were successfully completed in 1964. The K-13 missile was then used on an entire series of combat aircraft and remained in active use until the end of the 80s. The MiG-19 itself was modernized several times and participated in many armed conflicts. Over 2,000 MiG-19s were manufactured in the USSR, and even more MiGs were manufactured in China: over 4,500 units.
