Salutations, gamers.
If you’re totally awesome and have great taste in planes, much like I, you maybe a fan of the MiG-29 series of aircraft.
And to those of you who do enjoy the MiG-29, such as I, you may have considered to yourself…
“What’s the point in playing these anymore?”
at 12.7 they’re awfully mid, with their only saving grace being the 27ER.
At 13.0, they’re overshadowed by the Su-27S/J-11.
At 13.3… well. you know.
(Yes, these should go up, but this is about the game in it’s current state.)
And at 13.7, The MiG-29M seems severely outclassed.
Yes, Zhuk-M, RD-33K and 2 extra missiles on a lighter airframe than the 29SMT is nice…
But it gets molly whopped by basically everything else at the BR, aside from maybe the F-16C.
So, what are the main issues facing the MiG-29s?
Mainly, the FM. As you all know.
All the MiG-29s bleed speed at an ABSURDLY high rate, making it incredibly difficult to stay defensive for long.
Secondly, the Countermeasures, x60 normal caliber is subpar for most engagements. The 29SMT (And hopefully the 29M soon) have this solved by including more countermeasures, but at the moment all but the fattest Fulcrum are stuck with 60 normal cal.
Unfortunately, for most of the Fulcrums, this won’t be fixed.
The third issue, as most people should expect at this point, is compression.
The Fulcrums are outshined at their BR, but in even a slight down tier they tend to do extremely well.
This has been repeated a thousand times, but we NEED more BRs.
So uh, yeah.
Gaijin pls fix.
