If it was modelled properly, it would be undertiered for sure. It’s current implementation (both variants) are fine and are really only an annoyance, not an actual threat if you were flying in a dedicated fighter. What it does have however is a very high skill ceiling, meaning the one in a thousand pilots would wipe the floor with it… until it encounters an average M2K pilot.
Such comparisons can also be made with other major nations. Aside from standouts, this ebb and flow of dominance will continue to sway for as long as Gaijin decides it to. First it was the F-14a, then it was the MiG-29 9.12 and so on.
In the case of the MiG-29As, it is a game limitation that results in the relaxed stability (ability to pull high AoA at low speeds) - Instructor cucks us again.
Literally full circled back to the joke I was making - a broken FM on release.
Believe it or not, aside from the Instructor limiting it’s AoA at low speeds, it is performing accurately. The reason why it feels under powered is because the F-16 is over performing.
do you guys thing we will be seeing any of the russian interceptors this year? i wish smin would confirm or deny it, its weird that none of them seem to be in gaijin’s figurative radar…we could have gotten the mig-25 PD over the jaguar for the sword of justice event. Specially cuz india operated them too…
@BBCRF Could you explain the differences in nozzle size and wing design between these images?
The first image is the R-33E, it seems to have an improved wing design and there is a taper towards the rear of the missile rather than keeping the same diameter from front to rear like on something such as the AIM-54
The first rocket is R-33, the second is R-37
The R-33E is an export version of the R-33, and the RVV-BD is an export version of the R-37M
The fact is that the nozzle design is selected individually. Under the required parameters
Or do you mean the tail section of the rocket body?
