If there are sources to show specifically which weapons were planed, tested or mounted, then as ive already mentioned reports can be made for this to be considered.
unfortunately the program was cancelled, so it likely never actually got that far, doing anything beyond what was actually done on the testbed model, would require some hard proof or a lot of begging

the wikipedia page for the sniper refences a romanian blog? i think, which says this
-the installation of a new radar (other than the one on the LANCER) is expected, of new fire-drafting and state-of-the-art electronic warfare systems – all of them coming from Israel, some similar to those on Lancer;
-it was also expected to integrate West Weapons, but also to maintain the Russian one where it was still performing.
Aripi romanesti : MIG 29 in RoAF... - Romania Military
but not exactly a strong source

we all were but unfortunately it appears italy/romania wont be the first nation to get a 13.0 premium

Another site also mentions weapons too
It would literally only make sense for it to get similar upgrades to the LanceR. Both were made during the same timeframe. The LanceR can carry both soviet and western weapons
Right now it’s just disappointing, considering that it was kinda hyped by others. The RWR, while is better, isn’t that much of a defining factor

honestly this happens constantly with warthunder I feel

yeah but only one of those programs ended up finishing, from what I can glean from people talking about it, all of the avionics were upgraded but the weapons and radar were still only being planned to be upgraded before the sniper program was left in favour of the lancer

Correct, it’s like that. And once again I’m asking why in this game double standard exist
I would like it to have any cool and unique weapons that wouldn’t put it at 13.0, the second we get that matchmaker, it comes at a great cost. 12.7 is just free food and full of other premiums and dodges top tier. After a wipe or two I’d be down, but I want to eat well for a little bit first and finish my last air tree grind beforehand lol.

From what I’ve read while creating suggestion for Sniper, it retained the original FCS.
Spoiler
Aircraft cockpit received a wide-angle head-up display with an upfront control panel, two 6 X 8 inches multifunction color displays, hands-on throttle and stick controls, as well as backup flight instruments. Sniper’s avionics were integrated via a new Elbit MMRC mission computer and MilStd-1553B data bus.
Navigation system was upgraded, it consisted of VOR/ILS/DME and an inertial navigation system coupled with a GPS receiver.
Upgrade for communication system included: Elbit data-transfer system, a new IFF transponder, two radio stations with frequency-hopping and secure-voice capabilities (AM/FM and UHF/VHF).
The original fire-control system wasn’t upgraded, but it was as well integrated with a new mission computer.
Romanian modernization included new the Elisra SPS-20(V) radar warning receiver providing the 2-18 GHz range with a bigger library which included threats that previous SPO-15 system wasn’t intended to find (USSR-based, as well as Russian).
OEPS-29E electro-optical system and N019E Topaz radar were, previous weapon systems were still presented on the plane in its final state.

if youre comparing to the yak141, I dont think its necessarily a double standard but possibly more of a very specific requirement for types of unfinished projects we get in the game, a requirement which is secret to us
there is a difference between a program being explicitly cancelled in the case of the mig29 sniper vs a program running out of steam (for lack of a better term) such as with the yak 141
or as smin did say
If there are sources to show specifically which weapons were planed, tested or mounted, then as ive already mentioned reports can be made for this to be considered.
keyword planned, so perhaps gaijin is more accepting of this stuff than we think, but then again thats assuming it would get accepted, It would require getting an unrefutable source, so the real question ends up being
does anyone know anyone who worked at elbit systems in the early 2000s?

so the only difference between a 12.7 tech tree mig 29 compared to the sniper version, gameplay wise, is only a improvement on the RWR?

Planned. They are advertising it
The better view. We do not know nothing more, only the things the LanceR got because that program didn’t run out of steam

nato compatable doesnt necessarily mean nato weapons unfortunately, likely just nato systems compatability
mig29G is a nato compatable aircraft too

hmmmm from what I can see, it would appear that one of the main reasons behind the cancellation of the mig29 sniper was that romania couldnt effectively maintain their mig29s and possibly some type of embargo by MiG/russia on buying new engines for the mig29s after romania joined nato
