I don’t really mind the N019. It’s good enough to guide in the R-27ER.
in the future when the intended BR is no longer 12.7, i.e. when higher BR premiums come due to a higher max BR could we see R73s on the sniper and possibly the other mig29s?
Im not the person claiming it was incompatable with already known to be compatable weponary on the 9-12 platform.
As I mentioned, any sources that support this claim can be passed via a report for the devs consideration. So far, nothing has been provided.
Its long established that as long as an aircraft has technical compatability with a weapon, its open for consideration. Its both known what the 9-12 was compatible with and known what the Sniper upgrade program contained. Nothing about removing this compatability is suggested.

I think i have an idea how to solve the problem. Remove mig29 sniper due to it not fitting into the game

Its not possibly to say at the moment, as for now, its at its intended BR and with appropriate weaponry for that. So there are no plans to change that right now.

you are claiming it is compatible thus putting the burden of proof on you, and to disprove you need a source as well, both ends need to provide some proof for their point, unless a source states that it was still compatible with Soviet weapons it is valid to assume it lost compatibility and would need work to reintegrate

You need to prove that the Sniper lost compatibility in the first place

actually the burden of proof is on you, you are the one claiming something changed

Firsrly, these are not my personal claims. Im here to provide answers from the devs. There is also nothing to disprove. Its well known what the 9-12 was compatable with and we have multiple of them in game. The new version simply carries that on, being a 9-12 base with the Sniper upgrade which does not contain anything about the removal of existing weaponry on the platform or weaponary in Romanian stocks.
Reports are more than welcome with counter information. But so far nothing in this topic has been provided that can be passed on for consideration.
You are suggesting something has changed from what is already known to be compatable with the aircraft.

the mig21 LanceR was upgraded similarly by elbit, with the express intention to keep compatability with existing romanian stockpiles of soviet weapons. it is very easy to assume that the same wouldve been done for the mig29 sniper

Different computer was used. Later on the LanceR was able to mount weapons from both sides of the Iron Curtain

There is nothing to suggest it wasnt compatable with Soviet weaponary. The fact the LanceR can further solidifies that.

So NATO stuff on the SnipeR?

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.

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
