Is there any chance of the Nimitz class coming?

It used to be one of the best planes, no? Before those Sukhoi flankers.

I kinda just dont get why Mig29 9.13 has to go to 13.0 now tho, all the basic F15s are at 12.7 with arguably better flightmodels and IRs, so much about russian bias heh

Unfortunately no

Only confirmed vehicles that aren’t ready are the Swedish ground thing, and a Fw-190 F-8 for Hungary/Italy, but that one might not come this update.

Yeah before June 2023 mig 29 was arguable the best plane in the game.
After that, fm got nerfed and it fell off (it was massively overperforming in lift before then)

R-73 are better than Aim-9M
R-27ER, even limited to 2, is better than Aim-7M

And I think the Mig-29 can run 6x R-73

now it massively UNDERperforms in basically any regard lol

Id take 9Ms/AAM3 any day over R73, not once have i seen people NOT 1 flare an R73 even sub 1km rear full afterburner

But didnt people want the correct loadout of having r73 but no R27ERs and then keep the same br?

There was also Hungarian Fw 190F-8 spotted on the Russian stream.

I can say the same thing about 9M currently. Though you cant really fire them at 1km because they ahve the poorer FM

yea back when it and the f16 were top tier, but the f16 was still better

yea, but what they did is close enough i guess

its now the same as the MiG-29 9.12A in germany and the 9,13 is now like the MiG-29G

more dead on arrival than any plane in the last year

Oxy of the English stream did say it was coming, just wasn’t ready yet. Seems we’re gonna get it this update after all
