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

Wait wait wait. I honestly don’t understand the decisions anymore. It now has NATO bombs in dev server, but not western missiles? Am I missing something or aren’t these bombs not found on any Romanian MiG-29? I never saw them
Honestly I hope this is just slowly rethinking the aircraft

You guys must add r73 since it cost 80USD and if it doesnt have a real good stuff
then the 80USD would be a scam

Ah so its ok for the YaK-141 or Mirage 4K to get things it was proposed for but never fitted with but not this? thats good to know. There goes any and all interest i had in the thing…

i still do not understand why they are adamant in not giving it at least r-73 and bump the br to 13.0.
“we do not sell top br premium vehicles” lies, u sell a viggen with amraams at 13.0 so why not give the sniper its hystorical loadout that is ABSOLUTELY NOT IN DOUBT for it to have irl.
i understand if u do not want to add other nato missiles because there are no pictures of it with those mounted but as u say there is no proof that it cannot not mount r-60 then the r-73 has the same argument for your own logic.
you are genuinely losing potential customers by not at least giving it r-73, and not a little amount at all

Honestly I am fine with it losing the radar (even though it shouldn’t) but they should at least give it its proposed weapons fit such as R-73,Magic II and P3 and move it to 13.0

Exactly what I thought as well, it’s basically just a Romanian MiG-29G with some differences.

I did see a few tidbits saying the Sniper upgrade was intended to be a similiar upgrade (in terms of capability) to the Mig-21 Lancer upgrade by the same company(?). And that there were successful tests of Python 3 on that upgrade, but I haven’t seen anything directly saying the Sniper upgrade saw a 1:1 success in regards to testing that missile. A sort of “we intend for these to be the same but we aren’t saying they ended up that way” situation. So I guess I could see some confusion or frustration on kit availability.

I see no issues… logic is optional in Budapest…

At the very least give it R-73. It sucks that almost all the Mig-29s are horrible at such a high BR with their R-60Ms and its variants.
