Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

“The F-14D is better so its a sidegrade” son what are we talking about

yea my bad

Ingame? It’s a weird mix. It’s technically a SM3 but the overall model is wrong in places and the extra 2 R-77s are in the wrong place. Should be on the wings instead of between the nacelles.

100* km

How about we stop favoritising Sukhoi jets and give the MiG-29KR its R-77-1 and move it to 14.0? Sukhoi gets everything, why not stop treating MiG jets like the neglected child 😒

AIM-54C+ in game is identical to AIM-54C, so not a better fox 3.

No.

proved my point even more, thank you zulizia

Why?

Mig29kr doesn’t need to be 14.0.

Its be 13.7 with 77-1 just like the israel f16 with 120c5

Except the Israel f16 doesn’t have 2 extra missiles, ergo 14.0

While yes it doesnt have 2 extra missiles I think MiG-29KR would be comparable in performance even with R-77-1 at 13.7

R-77-1 is the better missile at almost all ranges

I guess, but it’ll be one of those planes people would think “why is this at x BR? It should be higher”.

Missile dont make a platform. 29 is pretty miserable really

Me when I look at Sukhois

Speaking of, R-27ER on Su-30SM2 will be cracked after the high alt buff .____.

I would argue that the 29Kr with R-77-1 at 13.7 is less of an issue than the current problem we have with the 2 Su-30s at 13.3…

yup

if you Fly an F-16 at 13.7 you get to take 6 Mediocre ARH missiles ar all but far distances or 6 Outclassed Unmanouverable AIM-9Ms

if you fly a MiG-29M or K you get to take 8 Really gold ARH missiles at all but far distances or 6 Really well manouverable R-73s

yes I know the F-16 has a better radar, and RWR, and is slightly more manouvaeable
but none of that matters when it gets slapped by R-77-1 and R-73 doing shots that Gaijin thinks should be impossible for NATO Jets

I just hate the fact that the first MiG jet without the terrible R-77 missiles will be the end of line MiG-35

That’s such a long time to wait for better on a MiG platform. 🫩
