MiG-29 with Magic II and Python 3 would be Kino.

Python 3 or R-73 would make this plane so much more interesting and an actual worthwhile purchase.

Currently it is not worth the money since it’s a far worse grinder than the F-104S TAF for the average player and the Python or R-73 with the improved CAS capabilities would make it actually worth its price

Upgraded radar, RWR with 2x 27ERs doesnt make over better A2A performance over TAF?

Since we don’t need 4 nearly identical mig-29s at 12.7, why not move it to 13.0 and give it IRCCM like the Mig-29G.

You dont want them, 11.7? mig 29 is something id love to play in the russian TT. R73 on that platform make it instantly 12.7/13.0 with americans shilling against anything but 13.0.

The last thing you want to be at those brs is a plane with only 2 bvr missiles.

Oh nvm its 11.7 in grb im retarded, 12.7 is rough never liked the mig29 there. 13.0 with r73 might be better but the MM there is significantly worse. Was thinking this was a mig29 without E variant r27.

That’s what I’m hoping for the most. Romanian MiG-29A were shown with R-73 on display. This upgrade is from the late 90’s (specifically the end, 1999) and was shown more during 2000, so it without a doubt had them on the original aircraft it was converted from.

Additionally, Elbit did showcase the cockpit of the Sniper. Not in 2000, but in 2005, so around 5 years (or 4, cant remember) after it was cancelled for Romania

I have emailed the people that did the upgrades, lets see what they say about it even being able to use soviet stuff

It appears the R-73 cooling switch is modelled. If I had to guess, it might be planned and the current weaponry it has is just placeholder (as this update had a lot of placeholders)

I really hope it gets them

So funny thing is, apparently we aren’t getting them because they target a BR of 12.7

MiG-29 Sniper as an Isr TT prem too??? Would be funny

Gaijin doesn’t want little Timmies in Fox-3 bracket. Which is, on one hand understandable, on the other - decompress top tier goddamit!

Thats a good suggestion for not letting it become just another p2w copy paste vehicle

The current weaponry on the Sniper is the final set.

The radar has also been corrected to N019E as per this report: Community Bug Reporting System - the fix will appear in a future version.
