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

What does the apu even do in game

looks cool?

If APU is what I think it is.

It’s an Auxilary Power Unit, for starting the plane from an outside power source.
So. In game, nothing.

MiG fan getting dragged into the Looney Bin for trying to turn a 9.41 into a 9.15.

UAC doesn’t want you to know this but the APU is actually a secret DIRCM/Radar Blocker/Missile Launcher.

That’s where all the drag comes from.

Trust me.

Well it wouldn’t have happened if Rus didn’t get their naming just a mess. Obviously you wont treat 16a blk10 and blk15 the same, cuz American clearly indicated that.

F-16A Block 10 → F-16A Block 15

MiG-35 9.15D → MiG-35 9.41SR.

Both F-16As, both MiG-35s, just different planes.

And Im worried they are not gonna fix the emergency thrust issue cuz they just closed it. And I dont see any effort on the HUD issue fixing, also the drag chute.

Yep. People just selectively neglect the notation after Russian after. Same case for SU-35 and SU-35s.

Having so much fun with the 35 in nuclear escalation, it’s practically the best fighter on the deck with a mixed air to air loadout

MiG-35 for close range low alt stuff, and Su-30SM2 for BVR is my current set up.

Highly unfortunate that it’s not as good in air rb
Lack of radar gimbal and CMs really screw it over.
I have had good games, but it’s really hard to deal with people that get over double your cm count and can just MCM you which forces you to be on the defensive which you are not good at.

First game I had in air rb a 15C GE MCM’d two or three of my missiles and made me ragequit for a while because it pissed me off so much

Nice, with the MiG-35 you can merge, get as much as possible out of the engagement, then head back to base to rearm since its combat endurance is pretty limited with only 8 missiles and 64 flares. Still, on the deck it’s really good. I tried using it for BVR too, but it’s honestly pretty trash at that

I’m mostly glad NE doesn’t affect normal statistics
Balancing would be so screwed if it did
