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

I wonder what’s better - su-27sm or mig-35 for arb.

If the mig-35 was a little faster at higher altitude it would be the obvious choice, but since it’s horrendous up there, I don’t know what to think of it

Su-27SM will probably stay better

i am surprised that it does. KR is just better both in terms of CAS (has thermals on the IRST), FM and protection (64 large vs 60 regular CMs). They are just moving it up because 13.3 stuff like SMT and N also moves up and they are worse than 29M

first fulcrum to break the curse of being at the same BR as a superior sukhoi or yak

It’s so peak

@Ralin Do you know why the SMT received the camera + laser function on its IRST? The 13SM OLS page doesnt mention any of this functionality being avilable?

The developer believes that the 13SM-1 is installed on the 29SMT, whereas the 13SM was only present on early aircraft

early SMT as in 9.17 and 9.18 etc?

everything except 9-19R

so its the 9-19R we have in game? Shouldn’t its name be updated to match it to clarify this.

Also doesnt this mean we are missing a thermal channel from the 13SM-1 in game?

Spoiler

There is a suggestion regarding this

i see, since i always tought the SMT in game was based off Red 22 which is a 9.19 which was refitted with the L-150 and UV-50 later on at the state flight test center

This is an incorrect translation into English

This is about a television channel, not thermal

There is also additional information indicating that it is only a TV channel:

i see, but another thing has the devs looked at the possibility of the OLS-UEM for the MiG-35?

I found this annual report from NPK SPP mentioning the OLS-UEM for the MiG-35

What is the difference compared to the 9-19R?
