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

I’m just waiting for any variant that is light like the 9.12 or the 9.13 and that can carry r73s, mig29m would be the best tho

That’s the Mig-29G

You mean the ones in-game that are being hampered / limited already…

I’m telling you, an 11.7 or 12.0 MiG-23MLD with R-73s and moving the 9-13 up to 12.3 with R-73s would have solved these issues. I guess Germanys initial MiG-29 is stuck where it’s at thanks to the addition of the G model.

i agree but i don’t think gaijin will add archers to the 9.13, i’d love if they do, but they’d most likely spam a lot of variants with minor differences to justify researching an entire new vehicle. Without a question the best solution would be what you said.

As modelled, it’s like if they added the F-4E w/ AIM-9Ms and AIM-7Ds. Regardless of what they ultimately do, the current implementation is counterintuitive and frankly awful, leaving all parties on all spectrums upset. I genuinely can’t think of anyone who plays or faces the MiG-29 who is happy about the armament, it pisses everyone involved off it’s actually kind of impressive

MiG-29M2(9-47S) not 9-67

The main problem of the MiG-29 in the game is the low thrust of the engine

Mig-29M would be the best to go against later F-15s, unironically.
Engines from Mig-29K, 2 additional AAM pylons, and still has added fuel.

@BBCRF
Eh… over 16,000kgf combined above 800kph.
For the aircraft that isn’t SMT, that’s above 1:1.

H =0, M= 0, should be higher than now in the game

If the doors were open I’d agree, but those doors don’t open until just before takeoff speed [between 250 & 300kph IAS].

Even when the doors are open, the thrust is still lower than the real one

MiG-29KR (9-41) fitted Tumansky RD-33MK engine better MiG-29M (9-15) fitted Tumansky RD-33K engine but unsure MiG-29KR (9-41) from Russian Navy using Phazotron N010 Zhuk phased array radar like MiG-29M (9-15) ?

Is there any possibility that in the future gaijin might consider MiG-29S (9-13S) & MiG-29SM (9-13SM) located between MiG-29 (9-13) & MiG-29SMT (9-19) but before MiG-29M (9-15) and MiG-29KR (9-41) ?

There is no such designation as the MiG-29KR, there is just the MiG-29K

Tumansky has nothing to do with these engines

I guess MiG-29K (9-31) for Indian Navy and MiG-29K (9-41) for Russian Navy

no

no.Both countries use 9-41

So patch notes say they added RD-33 Series 3 but it is still 10 kgf less than 29G series 2 engines and still name hasnt changed?
