The MiG is a ground-attack aircraft of the Soviets. It is similar to the Yak, but it shoots rockets rather than bullets, making it effective against heavy armored vehicles and buildings. It is not effective against infantry.
The MiG is vulnerable to nearly all forms of anti-aircraft, including Longbows capable to fire at it without retaliation. However, its sheer speed allows it to evade any pursuit.
MiG can be used to effectively take out badly-protected sections of enemy base, take out artillery or rogue V2 and intercept ore trucks (one fully stocked MiG can kill one ore truck all its own!), as well as act as an expensive (2000 credits) scout, thanks to good speed and the highest visibility range of all the units in the game.
Like all units with guided missiles, it's ineffective against Mobile Radar Jammers and units in their vicinity.
Trivia[]
The MiG is portrayed by the MiG-23 or MiG-27 in the in-game sprite and the build icon.
