I meant the mig-21's integrated twin barreled 23 millimeter cannon. they can obviously also carry missiles on its two little old hardpoints. I think thats appropriately weak for your first jet, can only carry two missiles total as in only two shots and then you have to go in close and use the cannon, not nearly as fast as the foxhound.

I think Xcom should unlock low tier fighter jets a lot earlier, like after promo 2. ik the mig-31 is the first jet you generally get unless you get the cf-105 arrow encounter(so unfortunate that I couldnt get this to happen in my game) but id actually suggest the mig-21 as they cost around 200k and would just use machine guns. thats realistic. a cooler choice would be the f4 or f104 but those woouldnt be so cheap

This may be a stupid question but how do you get the outfits to do the missions?

The X-Com Files / How does Air to Air work?

Hey, I want to start out by saying Solarious Scorch and the xcom files team you guys are awesome keep up the food work.

But I did have a question, in my most recent playthrough, I had a fully loaded Dragonfly on the way to a mission and the damn cult of dagon or some other group scrambled a fucking fighter jet and shot down my dragonfly! I do believe that theres a fun sort of minigame to the logistics of actually getting your troops to battle, but when the consequences are potentially losing all of your best guys, I dont know what to do.

I guess I dont really understand air combat at all in xcf, i had the helicopter sitting in a hanger with 4 lmgs attached for months and it never did anything. Are you supposed to send combat craft escorts to engage enemies that might come kill your transports, if so how are you supposed to defend dragonflys from fighter jets? Idk maybe im overthinking it but I dont want to be sending troops on magma lab and cyberweb missions in a van! Could someone explain like i’m five, What is the Air combat meta?
