What do you expect from Gaijin?

Answering this not based on my opinion but generally looking at the whole thread:
thrust is debated, developers say it’s correct but there’s plenty of evidence that says otherwise. At the same time current in game thrust with drag and lift values from the manual leads to correct performance at least in the sustained turn.
Regardless thrust missing is not 25%, but 7%
Flight model wise: for the most part now it’s correct (regardless of thrust changes). Sustained turn and maximum AoA currently match with the manuals.

This sentence contradicts itself.
Whatever, the point I am trying to make is some people say that is missing thrust while others say that it is not.

Another claim, you will never break a wing on a MiG-29 even at 15G, in the game he it breaks it easily

Do you know the upper limit?
That’s something that also started happening rarely after Sons of Attila update. It happens to me about once every 2-3 weeks but can’t find a way of reproducing it (tried many times in free flight to rip it by full pulling and rolling with aileron + rudder but never succeeded

Only the designers know the wings, but it’s not the wing that breaks,The tail breaks

If you can’t, some weirdos are going to blame in on the flight controls lol and say it performing exactly as it is supposed to irl.
I am worried about its thrust to weight. Being very low compared to the the Fulcrum and much much heavier. We also have that lovely instructor. But seeing as multiple tech mods and head honchos like @_David_Bowie & others are keeping an eye on the Mig29 closely. I believe they will address the supermaneuverable question very soon, with or without community reports.
But either way we should be happy. The F-15 is going to dominate the meta being extremely fast. They are probably going to give its same Aim7Fs and nerf the radar like the Tomcat because it’s such a speed demon and highly agile fighter in high Mach flight. Only the Mig29K and F-15 have dog tooth elevators.
But if the Flanker comes in well modelled. Everything will fall into place. Even the Fulcrum. There is nothing to worry about and both jets will come in as they are capable.

as far as i know, it should be the best fighter at slow speeds and 1c just loosing to delta wings like mirage2000, gripen, but anyway, im happy and i hope gaijin doesnt mess up with the fm, i will be in the su27 thread, i dont want ppl mad at me for saying stuff not related to the 29 lol

Bruh bruh, that is very true.
but slow speeds do not win Air RB matches. The only thing I can hope on is that they give the Flanker its full BVR capability. That means non nerfed radar.
But that means they will have to buff the F-14’s AWG9 and model the Aim54s…
See you in that thread! I do not believe we should give up on this model as the Fulcrum is directly related to the Flanker in design philosophy and pattern. Just different roles.
R-77 when

While absolutely happy to see all this new jets,I hope Gaijin won’t just spam F-15 and especially Su-27 variants from now on, completely forgetting other MiG-29 and F-16 versions since people will hype the other 2 jets.
