the aim9m more better than first gen r73 like flare resist or smokeless engine its 100% real. but the r73 have better maneuver ability.
idk i need the m2000 but i get 3-4 stroke /day in my mirage f1c200 when i get always 12.0
Will we get tyres as ERA?
Russian bias… :(

It’s funny that fanboys of Russian equipment, like Slow & Vox, think most of the War Thunder community are trolls for believing that Russian equipment is not the best in the world.
The fact that I’m accused of being a troll, exclusively by Russia fans is telling.
so funny they hide my post cause they know its true LMAO

I guess the Mig-29SMT is an excuse to not add the Archer to other Mig-29, especially not of Germany’s… If Gajin would have added it to the currently existing Mig-29A, there would have been no easy excuse to deny it for Ger. The new Mig-29 SMT is perfect: The new missile is just for this new jet and since Germany doesn’t get any new Mig, they also can’t get the Archer system. Also look at the ground addition, Gajin is hell of creative if its to deny German tech to German tech tree.

I would rather see the regular Mig 29 have it’s R27ERs removed and replace the r60m with r73 to keep a difference between models. I would rather have 4 good missiles than 2 great ones.
This new variant can have all the new toys but let’s not gimp the older one for a difference of 0.3 in BR.

9.12 & 9.13 cannot fire R-77s.
Which is why F-4F ICE is needed for Germany in order to have an ARH slinger.
@Godvana
Cause the SMT’s airframe is the worst Mig-29 for dogfighting ever produced, so it’s a good balancing factor for the new missiles it receives.
That and more 12.3s are clearly on the way in about 6 - 8 weeks.

Why would be the airframe relevant for a missile of that capability? The lock angle is huge, the G-overload is huge. You don’t need to maneuver alot to shot it.

What does r77 have to do with the older migs being screwed out of r73 and r27et?

I believe that gaijin maybe a plan add R-77, R-77-1 and R-27ET replace with R-27EA in the future
Cause missiles don’t carry the plane alone, missiles augment the plane.
It’s why A5C is 10.0 while Jag is 10.3. Jag with its slightly better airframe helps.
Tornado IDS at 11.0 vs A-10 at 10.0.
IDK if the differences between the lighter airframe Mig-29s & SMT are drastic enough for a 0.3 difference later on, 12.7 vs 12.3, but it’s entirely possible it happens.
Su25 is 10.0 but su25bm is 11.3, just because of r73.
Missiles don’t carry plane alone, sure, except when it’s OP bullshit like R73 and R27ER…
And the Kh-29T’s, and the KAB-500Kr’s.
Same as series 2 on stand, series 3 just have better life time.
It doesn’t
ER: Be near ground/defeat normally like you do against Aim-7Fs.
ET has the same seeker as T: Flare.

Lmao the ET has nowhere near the same seeker as the T
they did not even add KH29TD , and gave it same engines as regular MIG-29 while being 1 ton heavier yeah definitely RUSSIAN BIAS here guys
new missile with very long range, gets 1 tap flared even at 3KM, lmao
