isn’t it kinda crazy that the su-33 at 13.0 gets r-73s and 8 r-27ers with a total of 12 missiles. while at 12.7 the mig-29 gets 2 r-27ers and r-60ms with 6 total missiles

From something I may have actually bought to just another thing to forget about. I don’t wanna play the same 29 4 times in a row.

So basically you are saying if the Mig-29 Sniper were to be at 13.0 BR like the Mig-29G (with R-73), then it wouldnt sell well because the Premimum Mig-29 Sniper at 13.0 would constantly face 14.0 which includes all the planes with fox 3 missiles. So essentially, to even have the ability to sell the Mig-29 Sniper at a ridiculously 80 USD, you have to make it 12.7 where it cant fave Su-30s, Eurofighters, and Rafales.

when are we gonna get the preorder for the sniper???
I dunno, but at that BR, it is one of the harder missiles to play well with. At much lower BRs, it is already easily defeated as it is one of, if not the most flare hungry missiles in game. Id say the 9L is slightly better.
The point is that at 12.7… the premium hornet has more 7Ps… which are quite good, with the notion, that yeah, its still a sparrow. It can carry 2-6 7Ps though. Than it can carry at least 2 9Ls… there is a loadout in which it can use 6x9Ls and 6x7Ps.
Not sure about other tech trees, all I know that France gets Magic 2s, which have IRCCM at even lower BRs.
Sweden kind of suffers with the Viggens, one of them is at 12.0 without amraams, the other two are at 13.0 with amraams. Goodish FM though.
This thing only gets a different RWR though, to set it apart from the tech tree, which is not nearly enough. It will play the same way the tech tree variant would play, with 2 good, if not the best SARH missiles, and mediocre IS missiles.
Give it the R73. At the very least.

oh wait, …?
shouldn’t be 2x9Ls and 6x7Ps?
Everyone is talking about adding missiles and its A2A ability.
So what’s the most efficient way to gain RPs? It’s base booming. Not only for its low requirement for skills, but also for its stablity.
When I was spading Hungarian MiG-29, I temporarily ate bases to get R27ER modification. And guess what, this’s one of the fastest to eat base, thanks to its powerful energy.
The only way to explain why gaijin insist Sniper to be 12.7, is to make bass booming easier. If 13.0, player are usually matched with 14.0.
You may think it’s silly. But from gaijin’s point of view, after some business evaluation, the most buyer of this plane are who need to grind Italy Air tech tree. I’ve seen lots of people reaching the top tier jets and knowing nothing about how to operate radar.
In short, if basemen are majority, gaijin just cater to them.
Anyway, it’s just my personal inference. As for me I will continue playing Hungarian MiG-29, and I personally don’t recommend to use it for eating base.

2x9L+6x7P i think thats one of the possible loadouts.
Or 6x9L+4x7P.
Yeah I havent played it for a while sorry xD
Does Gaijin see these kind post at all? OR (nah… you get 60MKs)

Wait, so it gets western bombs but not western missiles.
Lmao.
I know iron bombs dont require that much work to integrate but come on.
It still has the original radar i presume?

Well, now im definetively NOT interested. Its still massive upgrade over TAF but after already getting to enjoy the 60MKs at 12.7 (and that was BEFORE F-15A, Gripen A and such), im not touching the Sniper with 10ft pole.

I get the sentiment, I tried to suggest how to make it better but some treatments are only for reserved for other countries.

“We can’t give it 12.7 and R-73s!”
Laughs in Su-39 and MiG 21 Bison. God forbid Gaijin actually puts realism into the game. Funny how they can screw Sweden over for “realism” but refuse to give the MiG 29 their armaments for “balance” especially for Italy, which already has the worst variants of every plane (worst and most expensive F-16, worst MiG 21, 23, and 29, worst Su-22 which is on par with the terrible Squadron, gets shafted with the worst jet in the game: F-104). God forbid you give Italy something good for once.
