The best thing. But logic is hard to use for them…
So we’re getting a MiG-29 with R-60MKs at the same BR as the F/A-18C Early? The same aircraft which gets “long” range AIM-9Ls?
The least Gaijin could do is introduce the Python 3 to the vehicle, it doesn’t have IRCCM but does have adequate enough range, the R-60s are 10.3 missiles…
I’ve now lost all interest in the vehicle and I’d assume so has others.

Genuine question if you don’t mind me asking; because the radar was a proposal, shouldn’t the weapons be removed too then? It was never seen with rails, let alone weapons, and the only thing I could find about it potentially having weapons is it being hinted towards being able to carry western weapons due to having the same weapon capability found on the LanceR, so it technically can have western weapons. Additionally, I do not know if this is just an error, but the cockpit even has an R-73 cooling switch. If it got them at least and went to 13.0 (like the 29G) then I think that would be alright due to having a better RWR and not having an advantage
Does it only have the same exact weapons found on 12.7 Fulcrums because it originally was a 9.12, despite it having the rails removed? And I don’t wanna turn this into a “whataboutism” question, but aren’t there systems with proposed/planned systems in game already, similar to the further upgrades of the Sniper?
Sorry for the questions, I just like the aircraft. It’s just sad seeing it look like this

Per Aerostar, the company in charge of the Sniper program, the upgrade package did not consist of western weaponry, only avionics.

So Germany gets a Swiss F/A-18C Early which was never delivered with any A2G ordinances iirc but we don’t get the same treatment for the Romanian MiG-29 Sniper? Got it
One gets ordinances based on compatibility and the other doesn’t lmao.

Its not deceptive at all. The Sniper has all the upgrades that took place and all the equipments it was known to have. There is currently no sources suggesting what “western weapons” were fitted to the aircraft.

It mentions the potential for future growth, not that the western weaponry was part of the Sniper package. Reading comprehension, people.

only as “growth potential”
meaning it was a future possibility but otherwise wasn’t done.
“for future integration”
There is currently nothing suggesting the vehicle had this weapon.
Not at all. The aircraft was a 9-12 upgrade. Nothing in the Sniper program suggests the removal of already integrated weaponary and weapons very clearly in Romanian stocks.
Its not an error. Simply its intended BR is 12.7. So it cant have R-73s at that BR. As always, avalable weaponry is down to the devs discretion.
Is there any source that states that they had gotten to the point where the soviet weapons were reintegrated, because considering the electronics work done they most likely have to had to reintegrate them

Will we finally get fixed mig29 one day? With r73 added and r27er removed? It has been a lot of time since r27er could be considered a balancing option, why not make smth as it should be?

To reiterate, the aircraft was an upgraded 9-12 which very clearly was compatable with Soviet weaponary. Nothing in the Sniper upgrade program suggests removing this carrage capability was an aim or ever done.
You are more than welcome to create a report with any sources that clearly show this for consideration. However all current information on the Sniper shows no compatibility issues with R-60 or other Soviet weapons.
Oh hey, now I don’t have to buy this thing anymore since it’s just going to be a copy paste mig 29a with a better rwr
And I was excited to get it because it had a unique radar which solved one of the biggest issues with the mig29…

You told me that repeating something doesn’t make it real, yet with the 9.12 update thing, you’re the one repeating it; it doesn’t make it confirmed… You want proof? Then I want it too. Please give us something that settles the debate
