Every mig29 in game can, they chose not to give it r73s because they wanted it to be a more or less copypaste 12.7 MIG-29

Let’s not pretend this would be some major upset to balance

I tried to get it to have R-73s (as well as other western weaponry due to it having the computer installed optionally), but it ended up not happening due to balancing reasons or something, cant remember. If that is the case, then it would not even make sense as the Sniper right now is just better than the base 29 with its RWR.
I’d like to repost my images and stuff containing more info about the Sniper, but that one topic appears to have been deleted or something, but TLDR Romania’s Fulcrums had R-73s with them, and it should still be capable with them. The cockpit ingame also has the R-73 cooling button for it modelled last time I checked.

x6 R-27ER, better FM at >5km alt, better speed retention, 96 large caliber countermeasures vs 60 small.
Can we stop with the “But it woud go up in BR” myths? Can you grow up? Or at least the data?
Oh now you want to nerf it?
Oh, btw, do you know that they are going to give the Golden Eagle extra x4 missiles? American mains complain their toy is mediocore, they get new toys NEXT PATCH.
MiG-29? 3 years in the game and sees nothing but nerfs and plumets K/D below American standarts.
so what, yes its a better option but are we talking about what better what worse ? simply saying something should be how its suppse to be doesnt mean that it should be left because there is a better option.
i want ? grew up
oh yeah tell me why the mig29G is 13.0 instead of 12.7 mistrer grew up guy.
if we give it r73 its will go up in br, but your saying that it wont and its stupid.
so what your saying is mig29 sniper should be 12.7 while mig29G is13.0 with both having the same weapons.
very smart
Because it struggles? Look at the stats.

doesnt change the fact that its unfair to have the same plane in different BR.
Hasn’t stopped Gaijin from putting the MiG-29G at 13.0, BRs aren’t always fair.
Still, without R-27ER/ET (only R/T) and R-73 maybe they could be 12.7?
that what all the peole are asking. its not historical the R27E r/t on the early mig29. the r73 and r27r is.
not even the r27t is

Trying to get the MiG-29N fixed has shown me the pain that all other MiG-29s have went through this whole time. Especially now that they added the R-77 (that is very likely incompatible since it might have never upgraded from N019E radar)

nice argument however MiG-29G exists

Or maybe we should ask more often?
Or
I believe the balance issue Gaijin saying can be an outdated information as statistics never shows you current exact situation. Imo after the addition of multiple 12.7-13.3 premiums both 12.7 and 13.0 jets are sucked into mostly same battles.

As mentioned earlier, every MiG-29 from early to late variants is able to carry and operate R-73 air-to-air missile, but weapons are part of balancing reasons, either absent to justify lower battle rating to fill a role or gap or present to justify a higher battle rating in-game and in a game mode, hopefully Gaijin put this aside at some point soon and model every vehicle with its weaponry accurately.
no need to be balance let them all be at 13.0 with 6 r73 or 4 r27 and r27s f18c early can get 6 aim 7 p and 2 aim9L but we only can stuck with r60m !!! this is not balance…

MiG-29G
Yeah that’s that plane’s issue.
the 13.0 MiG-29G is already not good
