There was only one thing in Wargaming's massive online dogfight game World Of Warplanes that prevented you from fulfilling all your Top Gun dreams: a lack of the Russian MiG fighter jet.

No more. Today, the company has released update 1.6 and brought along the iconic aerial combat vehicle. In addition to the Tier 5 plane, the update revamps the currently existing plane roster by adding a new multirole class of warplanes for ultimate player freedom and customization.
"Known for their breakneck speed and power, the Russian MiG line of jets helped define an entire era of aircraft combat. Starting at Tier 5, the new line of aircraft includes the MiG-3, MiG-9 and the legendary MiG-15bis, one of the world's first swept wing jet fighters to be ever produced and find success in the skies of battle." You research the Soviet jet after Polikarpov I-17.

1.6 also introduces the multirole fighter. "Made specifically for players looking for fighters with a balance between both air and ground combat, the new multirole class will allow them to outfit planes with armaments balanced between high caliber guns and ground destroying bombs and rockets." Other fighter class aircraft, conversely, have been designated air-combat only and have had their weapons and ammunition adjusted accordingly to better reflect the new balancing changes.
Five new premium aircraft have launched as a part of today's update. Players can now purchase the Tier VII Focke-Wulf Fw. 190 A-8/R2, Yakovlev Yak-3RD, the mighty American speedster Fisher XP-75 Eagle, the British Gloster Meteor F. I and the Japanese experimental Mitsubishi J4M Senden.
