The mig29 is probably one of the most “broken” plane in war thunder due to it is flight model and wrong weapons load out. The “new” mig29 sniper which is a premium for italy coming soon has become just a copy paste of a mig29 9.12 at 12.7 which is not even that good. I suggest that the all mig29s at 12.7 should have their loadouts changed from the inhistorical r60ms with r27ers/ets to the more historical r73 and r27r/ts, similar to the mig21 bison in the british tech tree and it is at 12.3 with better ground pound and air load outs. The new mig29 sniper should be similar to the german tech tree mig29g. More importantly, since when Gaijin ever do full historical on their vehicles, I believe the mig29 sniper premuim should also have its theoritical loadout of the ability to carry magic 2s or the israli radar and other modifications or else it is just another plain old mig29 of the tech tree.
F-14 in the same boat :(
13.0 has the worst uptier ratio of pretty much any BR, it is absolutely not worth it to go to 13.0 to receive better fox2 missiles. Maybe after the next decompression the story will be different.
Mig-29’s flight model is correct.
The engine thrust curve is incorrect which causes incorrect performance below ~600kph but above 400kph.
My only concern is the flying performance but everything else should act the same just like a Su-27.
What I mean is the Su-33 is in this position but it’s not a bad plane at all, the compression is the problem forcing this plane to face better weapons and far better platforms.
Whatever, the MiG-29 should recieve proper weapons, when I mentioned my concerns about flying performance was specifically about lower speed maneuverability and control over the airplane.
Yes, which is a thrust curve bug report, even if the bug reporter doesn’t realize it’s a thrust curve issue they’re reporting.
