The MIG is a fairly useless air unit as it stands. They do a max damage of 560 points compared to the Yak's 720, and although they do more damage vs. buildings (280 vs. 180), they require 4 passes to completely unload their entire attack, making them completely vulnerable to attack.

My take is that the maverick warhead that the MIG uses needs to be increased in effectiveness and / or the MIG needs to fire 4 missiles in a salvo once again, as opposed to 2. The minor increase in damage output cannot outweigh the extra $1000 in cost.
