Well, it is what it is. The HMD is also incorrect, it should rotate with the aircraft’s bank angle instead of staying fixed .

As for the HUD, I honestly wouldn’t expect a fix for at least another 5 months, and even that feels optimistic if they don’t just forget about it. The Eurofighter is a perfect example, they still all have that squashed HUD and it looks horrible. It really takes away from the Sim experience.

Same goes for the MFDs. Sim related stuff just feels neglected in general. They make a change every several months, then leave it untouched again for ages. Pretty much the same treatment the game mode itself gets.

It’s a shame

RU team instantly gets OP the moment ground based radars become functional and be able to assist with detection and guidance

Guys did ur MiG-35 get into Bullet Hell recently. I’ve not been into it for a week, and my latest one was just a disaster. Everyone was flying MiG-35 bc it’s too op.

Another reason Ig is that people dont wanna fly it in air RB so they just rush to NE and Bullet Hell modes. The Chinese new toptier jet and SU-30 really just rule the sky of air RB.

With R27R/ER does war thunder recognize the fact that re-locking onto a different target or dropping lock entirely cause the missile to go dumb? And the re-locking feature is only for gameplay purposes?

I wonder how MiG-35 compares to F-2 in a dogfight.

6533

Mauls it.

6534

Really? I’ve beaten even Gripens and stuff in the F-2.

6535

I mean, the F-2 is considered better than the Gripen by most duelists.

But MiG-35 blows the F-2 out of the water.

The MiG-35 is like a normal distribution for duelists.

Low end is “I’m in a MiG! I can out turn anything!”.

Middle is “I’m in a MiG-29! I can’t dogfight anything!”.

High end is “I’m in a MiG-35! I can out turn anything!”.

Most of the time you’ll be running into the first two.

It beats almost everything. The only real challenge is the Eurofighter, and even then, unless the euro pilot is good, you can still beat it

Euro wins by a very small margin iirc.

For most pilots, the MiG-35 will be better in a dogfight.

MiG-29K is just a tool of psychological warfare
