Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29/35 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

i am not that comfortable with top tier sim and keyboard, so i’ll suffer trough. Besides i got chaff 2 battles ago and can finally fly above 30 meters of altitude and even engage people! How fun!

That’s fair. I’ve gotten into it recently and I’ve found most people need to change like 2 binds then they can fly sim like it’s ARB.

You can fly as high as you’d like, and have fantasies of passing Mach 1.2.

MiG-35 is just Russian version of F-18E, trust me bro

the Super Hornet is faster.

The Super Hornet. Outpaces. the MiG-35.

29 9-13 & 29 9-12 cough cough

You see. MiG-35 has a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger wing area.
Significantly bigger wing area In question

Obviously it must add a bajillion tons of drag onto the airframe.

And this is what I found in the internet about F-2 vs F-16 comparison (dunno how accurate are those)

Tbf the F-2 is also noticably slower than the Block 50 (which it shares engines with).

But it isn’t nearly as bad as going from the 9.15 to the 9.41.

Thats my point, F-2 is actually significantly bigger and with significantly bigger wing surface, MiG-35 not so much.

Well uh…

Obviously, since the F-2 is a better FM than the F-16, and the F-2 is draggier. Then obviously drag imrpoves flight performance.

Guys I’ve solved it. The 9.41 drag is just because of Russian Bias.

the thing is that the F-2 Cd isnt different from the F-16 below mach 0.85
and the Cd of the mig35 was increased around as much as the f-2 was increased from the F-16

Clearly MiG-35 is as gigantic as F-2

Are the missiles bugged for anyone else? I’m grinding the MiG-35 with the MiG-29KR and my R-77s are getting easily chaffed and sometimes they just lose track and start intensely wobbling in the air. My R-73s aren’t much better either they’re almost like the R-60Ms in terms of flare resistance.

yup, something to do with the new autopilot. It’s why I don’t fire them above 20 km unless someone is in space, got a 40 km f-15 kill earlier today

MiG-35 gives me a rabid dog vibes. 80% of my team persished, 3 or 4 guys just spammed missiles from orbit at me, i managed to bite 2 of them when they got too close and then died to 9M because i literally ran out of everything
If only Russia created BoL pods or something just so i can have a comfortable amount of contermeasures in a missile spam 16v16 meta i would be happy

MiG-29 ultra is gone

All ARH missiles are bugged and begins to wobble, once they loose track.
As for R-73, it’s just mediocre in anything except direct rear aspect.

bro never learned basic human communications

R-73 has been mediocre for years
