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

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.

i am not asking about technicality, information about SnipeR never recieving planned radar upgrade can be found even on wikipedia, i am asking why it was accepted? We already have cases of vehicles using planned\never used equipment, so why remove one of 2 things that made it unique?

I’m guessing int this case it’s because
- A new radar was out of the scope of the original Sniper upgrade.
- Sniper already had a radar in the N019 so there was no need to give it a radar it never used, unlike the Mirage 4K which never had a radar fitted.
Remove SnipeR name then. Now it’s just a regular Romanian 29
