I’m not super concerned when it comes to the naming or thrust, just trying to point out my confusion. As an outside person looking in. I’m clearly not active on the forum’s but I do read them in hopes of seeing new info. I’d like to say that I have a good understanding of when I read or see a datamine I can interpret it correctly and for this instance it was confusing when I launched the game that is all.
I think were finally getting to a point where the performance between the 2 jets is quite fun in a dogfight and gameplay wise. I myself also lean towards the SMT nowadays following all the FM changes.
Lol did you see the Dev stream for the Mig29G and he read out someone’s live comment, “it’s kind of like the SMT with a Mig29 FM”
something along those lines. Reminded me of that. Had me cracking up.
Yes, in the past you were not assisted by any tools. Very nice deflect.
The first instance you obtain the capability, what do we get? You immediately come out and declare with 100% certainty said content is coming before GJ can even react. The only user.
Hmmm, would like to see references for this. The AN/APG-63 (oldest of this series of radars) had multi-mode tracking, not present on the RPLK-29. Could track 14 targets and target 6 of those, again not an ability of the RPLK-29.
In the air-to-air mode, the APG-70 can provide range, altitude, airspeed, and other information on aircraft at ranges exceeding 100 miles . I dont think the RPLK could even detect a target that far, much less tell range, altitude, speed or anything else.
And these two systems were developed in the same time frame. Maybe you are talking about some other Western Nations. And seeing as how the APG-63 and 70 were in several other airframes that were with nations such as Isreal, that kind of limits those nations.
You should probably read this, concerning the radar in the MIG-29. Seems it took over a decade to get the NO19 radar to even pass trials.

Can only track 10 but not claim or how many of those can be targeted.

Claims of the 10, two can be targeted.
Eitherway, the system couldn’t pass even the terrible Russian trials until 1991. I would quote it but the page is protected. Just search for 1991 on the page, its the first results.

Please don’t come at me again with such a low effort post as “proof” I did my research, do your own.

Radar that would fit in the MiG-29’s nose. Phazotron NIIR reverted to a version of the twist cassegrain antenna used successfully on the Sapfir-23ML
So my history was correct regarding the radar having to be downgraded a Mig23 standard. @BBCRF acting like I made it up for no reason.
The Zhuk can fire two R77s at a time. Wonder if we will ever get that capability. that would help in a world of a crap ton of amraams.
@Sethiol great work. I saved them and reading each. Thank you for sharing your research.

Stop writing nonsense.The radar N019M on the MiG-29 (9-13C) is a modified version for the use of R-77 missiles, could accompany 10 targets and fire 2. The radar of the Zhuk family could also lead 10 targets, but fire already 4.More modern versions can fire 6. The radar with AESA leads 30 targets and fires 10

What Mig29 did you think I was talking about? I simply said the Mig29 had to be downgraded to Mig23 standard because of nose size.
Then I commented regarding th SMT radar and hope they allow the targeting of two at a time because I think it will be needed. whatever beef you got is with that guy, not me.
Atleast provide a source for such a low effort post. A source is better than you just making claims.
The MIG-29 radar was such a failure they had to downgrade it to a missiles radar until the engineers could finally fix the radar, 10 YEARS later.
Also, it was so bad, even the pilots hated using the NO19 as it was lucky it could see its own radome.
See how I can just make claims with no sources? But, had you read both of the sites I sourced, they back both of those claims up.

They are not non-sense, you just don’t have the capacity to understand something that doesn’t automatically sing the praises of russian engineers is all.
Why would he? He has no obligation to reveal the source of his
Fair enough, but he made assertion that nothing wrong was done. If no one is in the wrong, let it shine in light. Where can we get inside confirmations of unreleased and unannounced content? Fair question, no?
You cannot keep claiming I did nothing wrong but not refuse to reveal the measures of your actions. Does not make you guilty, but not innocent either.
I already gave him the answer, he can ask ANY tech mod. In fact, most (if not all) of them have disclosed to bug reporters the status of their reports. @Gunjob and others tend to say as much directly in the comments of the reports.
Whether I go ahead and share that information like I did with the RD-33 Series 3 on the MiG-29 or the fuse delay changes (among other things) on the magic 2 is then up to me. They hadn’t asked me to keep it private, or I would have.
What report was the Series 3 under?
Please read more carefully. The tech moderators report. It would be internal.
I ask if x has been reported. They confirm it has.
I ask the status on the report. They confirm it’s accepted and will be fixed (or not).
Then, I see a change in the datamine. I inquire if it’s the fix, it’s confirmed or denied. Simple.
Okay so it actually is my fault, i read Mig’s first message as the SMT getting a new loadout.
I only noticed afterwards that he was talking about the engine.
Those change did happened and the plane “technically” got a new engine.
Was a lil tired that day so i acted quite rude toward mig.
Mig and i are using the same tool that a friend made because he was bored.
We have access to the same data so mig’s datamine could be as accurate as mines.
Mig just doesn’t have the same knowledge that gzabi taught me.
