I played the gamemode to stockgrind the 29(9-13) and the 27R, even though they dont have the range they are still pretty powerfull against the aim7s, i guess the 35Gs carry the missile. I found that the problem qith the aim7s Is the agility not the range.
how is it hardly balanced mate are you kidding? mig 29 9.13 is outright better than everything that isnt f15a there
goes both ways mate, no r27er for you
i said above - absolutely fine by me.
In what ways? What MiG-29 can do against a player that isn’t a zomber that Hornet and Tomcat can’t?
it shouldnt be. f15a with countermeasures and r27er makes it more fun
if you cant think of ways a r27er-r73 hmd combo can do more better things than a hornet or tomcat its a you problem.

Original point was about it being “in a proper time period” which it isn’t. Now you are trying to deviate this argument into a completely different field.
If you can’t do more better things in a Hornet or Tomcat because you don’t haev ER-73 HMD combo its a you problem
doesnt work the opposite way around.

Does. I haven’t died to a single R-73 and only one or two R-27ERs in 4 games on US side yesterday, while using Sparrows with a moderate success that was only held back by the fact that 95% of the playerbase just scrubbing the deck.
Moreover, i finished the USSR task in a single game, and i’ve literally met only ONE US player that had braincells to not just eat R-27ER with his face. ONE SINGLE player out of 16 actually employed notching, chaffing and maneuvers to bleed the missile out of energy.
it doesnt work the other way around, r27er and r73s are extremely good weapons, especially paired with an hmd, you being unable to think of ways they can bet better than an aim7m + aim9l combos without and hmd is OBVIOUSLY moronic to anybody who played a single game with either aircraft.
thats relevant how? i havent died to a singel aim9m since the event started, does that mean the r60m can do just as well as a aim9? clearly ive got plenty of kills with r60s and i havent died to a single 9m
ok…
So are 7M and 9M
This only means that you have to do a bit more work because you lack this QOL feature, it’s not as big of a difference as you are trying to say.
Cool, keep throwing insults, clearly shows your intellectual superiority
…you do realize people play the game right?
oh man what an insult, clearly directed at you personally too! its definetly calling YOU dumb and not your idea!

Look, kiddo, you have energy, i like that. But you are wasting it on wrong things.
Balance isn’t always symmetrical. You pick a single thing in which MiG-29 is somewhat superior (only on paper, excluding human factor) and pushing a narrative that this instantly makes it better in every conceivable way. Not taking into consideration that MIG-29 radar is extremely easy to notch, and without good radar R-27ER becomes just a 250kg dead weight. But because 95% of US team players don’t even try to do that, actually hitting ER shots is incredibly easy. You also don’t consider the fact that in most cases R-73 has pretty much identical flare resistance to 9L being 1 flare. On paper it has IRCCM, TVC with 50G pull, but on practice those features actually give you advantage in 10-15% of total shots with those missiles. Meanwhile F-14 and F-18 have much superior situational awareness due to better radars, and in case of F-18 and F-14B better RWRs. They also have more staying power, with bigger missile load and better fuel economy which allows you to stay in advantageous position and keep fragging. Just try to play smarter than majority of your team and results will follow.
thats 99% of my argument, the aircraft dont need to be equal, the mig 29 is competitive enough with the best on the american side(f15a, f/a18c et cetera) but it is worse, same for yak 141, why? because the soviet side gets better anti air(and it is much better) and better cas(su25t and su24m absolute destroy anything on american side at that br f111f a10c you name it) its an assymetrical gamemode its meant to be.
…same flare resistance as 9l, in front aspect? sure, f-14 better radar? are you kidding? thats so dumb its crazy, There is no universe where a pd hdn radar can be better than all aspect radar, with the weapons you are given in this gamemode HMD isnt a simple “qol” as you imply but a massive advantage especially cause r27ers are incredibly effective paired with it.

Again, you are just taking one very specific usage of radar - guiding a missile and base your entire argument on it. Thing is, i will see MiG-29 with F-14 radar much earlier than he will be able to see me, and N019 all-aspect capabilities simply won’t help, in fact, they might actually make situation worse, because you can notch PD, while Pulse will still give Sparrow illumination even if it’s locked on chaff, as long as you fired missile before your radar was spoofed. MiG-29 will also have more difficulty with notching, because SPO-15 isn’t actually 100% accurate and has quite big sector that is shown as just 90 degrees. If you, in your right mind, deliberately push into 20km HMD range against MiG-29… that’s clinical
7Ms are garbage

They aren’t that bad what are you on about.
you dont notch a phoenix with the rwr, you notch visually, its extremely easy to do so.
what else are you going to do lol sling phoenixes all match from 30+ ? not hitting ANYTHING? and the r27s just beath the phoenix in bvr. youre acting like a mig29 launched ER is somehow easier to notch than an aim54. im really out of words now.

theyre not garbage, not good either, any missile you can outroll is automatically not great, especially cause its “range” is not that practical as fairly slow and very easy to spot, + no iog means its also incredibly easy to defeat. mid missiles,
i would take an r24r over a aim7m any day
