R-73s on the other hand, the crucial part of the aircraft that was co developed alongside it:

They exist just fine on the MiG-29G and SMT, what’s your point?
29G is fully outclassed by other 13.0 aircraft, mainly the Su-27, and the 29SMT is bad. The MiG-29 never went without r73 irl as it was the main missile for the aircraft and its doctrine. It’s like not giving the F-14 the AIM-54. The 12.7 ones should lose the r27er and gain the r73 but not allow r73s on the inner pylons for balance (forcing a 2x r27t/r and 4x r73 loadout rather than 6x r73)

Nah. There are no AIM-9M x AIM-7F/M/P aircraft(which would be the equivalent), and if there were going to be one it would have been the F-18s just added. The closest is the F-16ADF, which still only has 9Ls and sits at 12.7.
ER allows it to sit competitive at 12.7 when it’s downtiered, R-73 will push it to 13.0 where it won’t be.
Maybe because that sits too low at 13.0? Shocker. Almost like that’s the entire reason I tell people to kick rocks when they beg for it to come down to 13.0 in SB.
If only that mattered to the devs.
Which is sidestepping the point
I don’t think the current MiG-29 is equal to current western 12.7 jets. I also don’t think having only R-73 with only R-27R as backup is going to be oppressive.
The tradeoff is much better FM and avionics in the F-16
not when limited to 4 and r27r
Only if you also think about 50-60% of 13.0 also should be higher. Su-27 isn’t exceptionally strong at 13.0 it’s just on the higher end of the normal bell curve.
I don’t think so.

why limited? it can carry 6x r73 (without r27s)
WIthout the ERs and with R-73s, I think that it would both be too good for 12.7, but not good enough for 13.0.
Once again, decompression is the answer.
What sim really needs is a 13.3 (and 12.3) max BR bracket.
balance sake
Yes, because 12.7+ compresses 2.0/2.3 BRs into just 1.3.
Hot take: FM is perfectly fine and comparable to the ADF, adding R-73 will only push this further in the MiG-29s favor. 97% of the people you face in game are not good 1v1 duelist and will still lose in guns vs a MiG29.
That certainly is what you say. It loses in any real skilled fight where the other guy knows how to exploit the 29’s giant weaknesses, in my experience.

there were some exceptions like iraq only getting r60mk and r27R for their mig29s

Have spent probably 24+ hours in the Fulcrum between the 29A and 29G. Anyone that says they are bad has skill issue, full stop.
literally nobody plays sim as there are better dedicated simulators and in air rb mig29s are the epitomy of mediocre.
LMAO sure bud.
Not really. Lots of cockpit simulators that fail at being good games, cause that’s all any of them are. Completely off topic though.
Cool. This is a discussion on the aircraft itself, with no tags for any game mode. And any changes suggested affect the entire game, not just your dogshit mode. But either way, nothing is stopping you from getting the full performance out of the jet in ARB… Except skill issue
sure as in you can’t argue with statistics lmao and for air rb, the game mode the overwhelming majority of wt pilots play, your stats are worse then mine for the mig29 so skill issue? honestly I don’t know why you think the mig29 should be the same as the adf, they’re different planes and can sit at different brs, really mig29s just need the old flight model back and I want the Soviet one to receive r73s.
It isn’t researching tanks takes alot longer than planes
Then you didn’t face a competent pilot until now
A good F16 pilot would just fly passively until you run out of fuel
Except they aren’t?
Winrrate isn’t a metric of skill in ASB when the match isn’t won by air quake. And both of the MiG-29 have better stats than yours despite being flown almost exclusively in a less permissive ASB environment.
Let’s go into game right now and I’ll mog you for the next 2 hours if you think you’re hot shit.
It not coming back because the current one is correct, cope.
They are nearly identical in both play style and capabilities.
