Major Russian contract for R-77-1 air-to-air missiles
I think mig29k should receive the R-77-1 because it would add more 14.0 jets, we only have a little of it

imo they should add a mig-35 with r-77-1 and let that be 14.0

I don’t think its current loadout with high G and sustained Missile should get any better.

Welcome to the Official War Thunder Forum, we’re pleased to have you here!
I kinda agree with your opinion but I think Gaijin wanted the MiG-29K to have the standard R-77 in order to make it an obtainable research version of the MiG-29M. Not just that but to also keep it in the 8th rank.

Agree, no point in grinding it if you already have the MiG-29M with better loadout and faster FM. If it was 14.0 with r-77-1 it would be something different

Given the fact it constantly gets pulled up into the bracket above it, and lacks ERs to apply pressure at range, yeah. 77-1s should be provided.

So far most matches have been everyone being taken out before they’re within the missile’s range, or if they are within range it’s usually because the team’s disintegrated.

I’d prefer if that got the R-77M instead, although I don’t know the first thing about Russian aviation history when it comes to their modern aircraft so that might not be possible. Perhaps there’s other MiG-29K variants as well?
