First of all, I don’t care about MiG-29 itself. I came back just to explain why Ion said ‘R-27Ts sucks’
If I was MiG-29 pilot, I might bit more biased to those.
Oh, of course. And I am well enjoying my solution at all, I quit playing Harrier GR.7 and Tornado GR.1 in ARB nowadays. /s
F-15A might not meta on the current 13.0BR thanks to those overpowered premium ARH jets at 13.3BR, and buggy radar, as @PyroAddict explained.
Even though I dislike Gaijin’s makeshift solution of sending F-15A down to 12.7 instead of decompression for creating a somewhat place similar to 12.85-ish BR.
Or just fix the damn radar. That footage was insane.
If sending F-15A down to 12.7BR was saving ‘the demon lord of the round table’. Okay, as I claimed earlier, I have no other option than admitting Gaijin’s balancing.
But, use 27T instead of 27ER? seriously? I would rather have 27R over 27T on my MiG-21Bison.
F15a with 4 9m and 4 7m, good radar, good fm and a decent rwr which is “mediocre for 12.7” being at the same br as mig29 with ass r60m, useless rwr, trash fm and is “too op for r73 at its br” is the wildest thing i have ever seen.
If it wasnt for its r27 missiles, it would be at best 11.7 even with r60m and hmd
I don’t think anyone’s saying the MiG-29 is better than the F-15, only that with the current meta around that tier, the MiG-29 is about as capable of influencing the game, entirely down to those two R-27ERs.
Firm supporter of removing the ERs, adding R73s, and buffing the flight model, by the way.
Unlike its kit and flight performance, this is openly debatable.
Though it doesn't suprise me that, once again, most of people who exaggerates about the F-15As performance either were unable to pull good performance at ARB or straightup don't own a single eagle, wether the American, Japanese or Israeli.
The MiG-29 situation isn’t a situation. The Fulcrum trades high kill potential floor for a low kill ceiling with its R-27ER + R-60M combo, whereas the F-15A/J/Baz has a stupidly low kill ceiling with an important kill ceiling if and only if the stars align.
