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

I never blacklisted you, we’re still friends in-game.
Can always check here or click on my name to see how many battles I’ve done this month or whatever too.

It doesn’t.

In BVR? Of course, it only has 2 rockets, which you can easily avoid by turning around or flying close to the ground :)

Which is true of all radar missiles, the complaints about the R-27ER aren’t really warranted until they fix multipathing.

Only two of the best SARH in game by a country mile.

2 x 0 = 0
The missile is easily defeated like any radar missile. Especially with the new RWR mechanics.

the tomcat seems very beastly right now. As for BVR agreed 100% aim54s are a joke and and AWG9 since its nerfed beyond all hell.

Flying the SMT for so long jumping into the tomcat B and A you are like wtf is this? cannot hold a lock and R27ERs are crap at low alt but practically a 100% kill at high altitude.

Yet I still manage to get one or two kills with them basically every match. I can’t say the same for the superTEMP or 7M. The SMT also gets the best radar currently in the game.

The main things that need to be improved with the SMT is a2g, so it fills the multirole better. It really needs a laser pod imo.

I haven’t had any issues with the 7M, I find it just as effective as the R-27ER. In fact, for some reason it seems to hit targets in rear aspect more often… could be the F-16’s radar or something.

All SARH in the game are equally laughable imo, I’ve entirely opted for 6x AIM-9M or 6x R-73 depending on what I’m flying.

difficult to avoid by playing aggressively aim-54 missile (flying straight and tracking the target without maneuvers or with light maneuvers) A slight turn will not help, flying close to the ground will not either (this missile is like a bomb, if it explodes on the ground it will kill you in ~80%, and if you are lucky it will only critically damage you).
That’s why aim-54 is a cancer that takes you time to dodge, etc…
Of course, I do not recommend playing aggressively

That must be your 20 game experience talking the R27ERs are faster and far more deadlier in all aspect especially at high altitude.

The F16C will drop locks constantly and if it was not for the HMD its accuracy would drop further.

The Tomcat has a 9km ACM and its will fail to lock targets until 6km very often. Did I mention how unbelievably slow they are compared to the R27ER? Which longer time to target means the opponent has more time to perform radar defeating techniques and chaff.

The SMT has a more radar modes and narrows FOVs to reacquire targets in addition to HMD and the IRST that can spot targets farther than the actual Search and track function which is an exploit we take advantage of due to the spotting system of the game.

I have 500+ games in the MiG-29’s. I’d rather have more slightly slower SARH missiles without DL or IOG to increase the number of kills I get per game. (On that note, please remove the R-27ER from the game if it’s the issue, y’all will complain about the next thing).

Talking about the SMT dork. Different jet with a different radar. Why would I want it removed other than it not being a historical loadout and was only added because people like you cried the Mig29 was underperforming and would not play until it is fixed.

JUST like you did regarding the SMT? Is that why you don’t play it much? So it is underperforming?

Why would you say you refuse to play it untill GJ fixes it? Shall we pull the quote up?

Do you think GJN is overstating the multipath effect? Pretty sure some UK players have primary documents that the Skyflash should be capable of hitting targets at much lower altitudes than currently. Not that GJN would take notice.

Obviously this is true. They even stated it is a balancing decision on their part.

To fix top tier imo;
Correct the F-16’s FM
Fix multipathing error
Remove R-27ER
Add R-73 to all MiG-29 variants
Correct AIM-54 performance

We agree on something. But that is not why you said “I refuse to play the SMT, untill GJ fixes this long ass list”

You’re using something I said a long time ago about something that has long since been fixed as bait to get me to reply to you further… this all after you repeatedly told me not to tag you or talk to you. Quit.

You are also using youtube videos of custom matches holding hands with your gf months ago with infinite missiles and min fuel as viable unbiased testing of the R73 and your proof its not underperforming today.

That was literally the same time you stated you would never play the SMT until GJ fixed it.

You claimed no FM changes happened since release of the SMT. Though many of us who actually play the jet has noticed incremental small alterations.

So what are you talking about? Why all of the sudden the SMT is perfect now? Because I agree its underperforming? Because I say it is now?

Guys, should I go back to hating on the SMT, so this dude will stop playing games?

I don’t understand why you two are fighting all the time, relax a little bit, try to reach a consensus on what is wrong or right within the game, if you both can’t, there is no need to fight all the time, just move on

I do but everytime I change positions he jumps back to the opposite.

yeah but u also gotta understand, out of 2800 messages in this thread, maybe 500 are u and mig23m arguing nonstop, just chill a little bit, everyone wants the game fixed in some way, lets try to help each other
