The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (Russian: ?????? ? ??????? ???-15; USAF/DoD designation: Type 14; (NATO reporting name: [REDACTED]) is a jet fighter aircraft developed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau for the Soviet Union. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. In aerial combat during the Korean War, it outclassed straight-winged jet day fighters, which were largely relegated to ground-attack roles. In response to the MiG-15’s appearance and in order to counter it, the United States Air Force rushed the North American F-86 Sabre to Korea.

No. I will not say the MiG-15's reporting name.

Also, this one is mostly inaccurate from the real one in landing gear, intake, speed and exhaust. Pardon me.

Footnote: Ignore the 'Your engines are not getting enough air' pop-up. The plane can still go about 700kmh on dry throttle.

Also, the afterburner has unrealistic fuel consumption. I couldn't increase fuel because the weight increases with it, and if you know basic things about weight n fuel, then you know it takes more fuel to get a heavier plane off the ground.
