R-27T/R is nowhere near as effective as R-27ER. R-73 are not banned south of 13.0.
Ok, and? IR R-27s have a different (objectively better) playstyle since the enemy never knows you’re shooting at them from 5 miles away. They’re still effective irregardless of what you think.
Since you say you play all the vehicles around this Battle Rating, you should know by now how often 13.0s get dragged into top tier matches, you’d be incredibly lucky to get more than 5 downtiers per hour.
Yes, R27ET is very effective. R27T on the other hand is just alright. The range being much shorter has less of an ability to be unnoticed by you getting closer.
I’ve been playing 13.0 almost primarily lately and I get downtiers or 13.7/13.3 games far more often than I get 14.0 games. In a 13.7 game there can only be 4 13.7s, in a 14.0 game there can only be 4 14.0s. All that said i have no idea how this relates to gaijin not banning r73s just because the BR is lower than 13.0.
And I’ve still been doing this good in a Mig-29G, because the R-73s help it MASSIVELY.
Where are you going with this? I’m talking about the ENTIRE +1.0 Bracket along with other 13.0s that the Mig-29G faces 90% of the time, not just exclusively 14.0 or 13.7.
Here’s a more reasonable balancing idea that doesn’t completely screw everyone over, the 12.7 Migs getting access to 2 R27ETs. Now you’ll be forced to decide between equipping the best SARH or the longest range sneaky IR. I quite like using ETs on the 29G as is

That would be much more reasonable, I also prefer using the R27ETs on the 29G.
No they are not… it has been given 2 more missiles which SIGNIFICANTLY underperform to real deal by 37,5% in range. We still lack IR mica. We have only radar one which can be easily chaffed, lacks significant portion of its range and has HUGE drag and dimensions. Stop inventing and lying.
Yeah, fighting F-15s in the mig-29 is just depressing. I’m also running into a lot of gripens.
I really feel like R-73s aren’t going to break the balance when you already have magic 2s and aim-9Ms in the same area. Since the BR raise it seems you only fight 13.0s in 12.7

I’d take the ET simply I don’t have to get lock on jets that have insane amounts of CMs and some having ARHs.
R-27R =/= R-27ER
Also that’s not even russian nor anywhere close to the right time period
