Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

What happened? Did they make FM changes to F-16? Does anyone have the raw data from datamines and can someone explain the changes? Enlighten me pls

İt has less drag now? İsn’t that a buff? Sorry if I have no clue.

Also , does this change effect the F-16C ? İt is not on the list

F-16C and D were unchanged

The C and the A have different FM the A is better

It has more drag, I don’t know how WT arranges things to create flight model but the most important thing here is the 0.05 drop in the Oswald efficiency number, which leads to increased induced drag for the same lift coefficient.

So in SIM they are still the uncontested destroyer of worlds, nice

F-16 turnrates from preliminary testing by me seemed to decrease by around a degree per second, I tested ITR but STR is normally proportional to that

MiG-29 turnrate increased by around half a degree per secondish it seems so its back to pre weight change levels

I know , but the C gets better engines and destroyer of worlds invisible 9Ms.

yes but it has more weight so the engines don’t change much

F-16C was not changed and rightly so, as it is not over performing by any mean (at least not that it seems to me), it was the F-16A that had an UFO flight model

Did the SMT receive the better engines? İn game it still only says Rd-33 only in xray

Not yet it was only a leak

It wasn’t a leak and the engines do consume less fuel now.

they should just add it it’s 10 KGF thrust and change the name to series 3 already lol. Thank you for the clarifications

my bad

Bro why are you copy pasting the same thing over and over?Did you die to a JH-7 XD?

Seriously bro?Everyone knows what drag is.Every single object in the whole universe has drag.

How much difference would it make?

i think the balance between the fulcrum and the viper now seems comparable to prior mig29 nerf, the difference is that now both of them are close to other aircraft like the f-14 and the mirage, before the mig29 and the f-16 would just stomp every other plane
