So, taking War Thunder’s current conditions and each aircraft’s performance across the different game modes into account, the overall MiG ranking looks like this:

Rank Aircraft Score
1 MiG-35S 8.13/10
2 MiG-29SMT 7.38/10
3 MiG-29KR 6.94/10
4 MiG-29A (9-12) 6.50/10
5 MiG-29M 6.44/10
6 MiG-29 (9-13) 6.31/10

What do you think? I’d say it looks pretty fair overall

Hahaha yeah, overall, taking their BRs across the different game modes into account, this is pretty much how it ends up for me but in Air RB, yeah, I’d still put the MiG-29M above the MiG-29A

Quick question. Why is the 29m lower than 29smt is cas

due to the UV-5-08 modification on the SMT

29M still sitting with half of the countermeasures is criminal

Oh yeah right

Exactly.
MiG-29SMT Ground RB: 6/10. Best of the three mainly because the UV-5-08 modification gives it 60 regular + 56 large caliber countermeasures

MiG-29KR Ground RB: 5.5/10. Second because it gets 64 large caliber countermeasures, so it has better survivability than the MiG-29M

MiG-29M Ground RB: 5/10. Last because it only has 60 regular countermeasures

Wise, all three are the same in CAS performance

Is it a bug that I can only fit ER missiles to the inner most pylons on the MiG-35?

no

Interesting design choice?

The most likely reason is that those pylons simply aren’t certified or documented for the R-27ER/ET, while they are for the R-27R/T, as far I know

the reason is because the R-27ER/ET would collide with the flaps

on the right side i put two r-27r’s so you can see how much longer a r-27er is compared to it

and this is how much space the r-27r has on the second pylon

Well, makes sense
