Major Update "Spearhead" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

The aircraft was not “nerfed”. It was added in line with all other 12.7 MiG-29s, as the ones at that BR perform more reliably than those with R-73 on the higher BRs.

None of the 12.7 MiG-29s have R-73 and there is no possibility they can receive them without a BR increase.

Taiwan never bought AGM 179s but Hellfire-L (longbow) versions with shortwave radar guidance, coupled with inertial guidance

Taiwan even has them mounted on civilian missile-launching trucks

Spoiler

AH-64E + hellfire L

I wanna point this out for other peeps cause sometimes you guys do a great job at modeling, sometimes but when you get it right its great.
Even got the correct watch for the time based on the documents

I’m fairly sure the AV-8A has an RWR display in the cockpit despite not having one in game. There’s also stuff like the F-100s having a drop tank fuel level display in the cockpit despite not having any, and the F-4E cockpit being copied from the F-4C.

There’s even more cockpit issues like this.

F-18C uses the 2012 US cockpit despite JHMCS not being in service so why it has the HMD button in the cockpit is beyond me lol. Its 1992, oldest 14.0 hornet it should be using the Early hornet cockpit

I think the GR1, GR3, A, and C all have the C cockpit

hopefully a CTA-40 armed tank for the UK as france just got one

Is it possible that a future higher BR Romanian (or Hungarian) MiG-29 equipped with R-73 is added in the future? Maybe a techtree “MiG-29 Sniper (late)” like it was done for other aircraft like the AV-8S?

Spoiler

Thai AV-8S never had any variants, “early” and “late” are just distinctions to give it different armament / BRs and have both a techtree and premium example.

Unless you count the two seat TAV-8S, which isn’t in game.

1 sec i have all of them let me check

Yeah they all seem to be the same, if they are different its really small stuff

Oh, that’s the gun used by the ebrc right? What else can use it, the ajax?

how it was not nerfed if it wasnt introduced with R-73?, when it should have R-73 the aircraft itself is telling “BRO I SHOULD HAVE R-73” it was introduced nerfed and thats it, the devs choose to not introduce it with R-73 because for them it was “better” to just give it the useless R-60 and put it a lower BR making it a direct copy paste of others MIG-29s with just a different camo, the sad part is that a huge amount of people wanted this jet for really long time and once again when the dream becomes true the devs decision dissapoint all of us by just doing the opposite thing, this dev tendency of introducing vehicles in a nerfed state and not taking into consideration the opinion of the mass is becoming way more annoying everytime it happens.

Nothing planned anytime soon for that, thats for sure. But perhaps someday.

The sniper should have been added at a higher BR, if they wanted a lower BR MiG-29 they could have just added one from a specific air wing

The 13.0 MiG-29s with R-73 have an overall worse experience at their BR than the 12.7 ones without R-73s do due to the opponents they fight. Both the 12.7 and 13.0 MiGs were reviewed in depth before the decision on what loadouts to provide it were concluded.

Aside from the J35D having the rear windows modeled in first person its pretty accurate

I feel a lot of people view that as a waste of an actually interesting airframe, a normal Romanian MiG-29 would have fit more since the Sniper is an upgrade program with barely any upgrades actually present ingame

Why is there a squadron F-16 with 9Ms and Magic 2s tho at 12.7?

It doesn’t have any SARHs like the R-27ER-1 the Sniper has.
