I have all, thank you, :-)
We will get it. Probably sometime after the Typhoon comes & Rafale
Knowing GJ I would not be surprised if we get it before both of them lol.
Nah we should have the Mig31 as next completely new platform
Works for me, i always admired Mig 1.44 and other prototypes that never came into service.
Did it have RAM coating or am I tripping? I haven’t gave it a thought for ages.
frankly i think we should have gotten the 29M 9.15 instead of the 9.19, then they could have followed the progression of mig29 variants into the modern times better justified by the with avionics upgrades they received. And the progression would fit in a more historically logical manner.
Or at the very least a proper S variant. Jumping right into the 9.19 was so weird

Oh yeah those would’ve been amazing aswell. USSR had very capable scientists and engineers but in the end when talking about technology everything is highly dependant on how much money you have and, unfortunately, the soviet economic system couldn’t adapt to the challenges of administrating a big GDP and population. Had gorba successfully transformed the ussr into a modern economy like the chinese managed to do we’d probably see a lot of these projects becoming reality, maybe even the su57 would’ve been around at the same time of the f22.
this and other many other things that wouldn’t happen…
Of the 76 Su-57 units planned for construction…To date, 22 serial units (30 percent) and 10 Experimental ones have been built…Is it mass production or not?
Production variant was suppose to have, dont remember if prototype did have it.

This…
Not really.
But now MiG-29SMT (9-19) from USSR tech tree armed Air-to-Air armament like MiG-29SMT 9-17 standard ?
What?
Ahahha
What other fairy tale are you going to tell?
Serial Su-57
Only MiG-31

9-41 for good measure
No, its forse than that, more like 9-13s standard
9-41 is a modern aircraft from 2007
Remind me how many Su-57 has been produced and why Su-57 still has exposed engines that effects its ir and radar signature?
As Russia struggles to finance mass production of the Su-57, it’s no fairy tale.
Yes that’s correct.
Yeah, I agree.
I know I sound like a broken record & won’t keep beating a dead horse, I will be quick in my point.
I honestly think they had a great road map for the Mig29 until they slapped each with the R27ER.
(Because they could not give us the R-73 at the time)
I think Gaijin intended to give us the first Mig-29 (9-13) with R-73s & R-27R/Ts first.
(Which is how it appeared on devserver.)
Then later they would give us 9-13S with ERs, R73s & R-77s.
But since the R-73s was too powerful on the dev server & the R60s/R-24Rs loadouts were just not cutting it on the live server…
They decided to make the 9-13 a hybrid 9-13S & gave it the ERs.
Then since NATO Mig-29s came into the game… GJ was forced to give them ERs too…
(A disrespect to the Soviet Union & Federation. But I do understand)
They decided to skip the 9-13S because nothing is special about it anymore over the older 9-12 & 9-13 so they jumped into the 9-19 SMT with a new radar as the first R73 carrier…
GJ cannot even add a Soviet 9-12 unless they take the ERs. Because it will just be another 9-13 hybrid… Thats why we still have not received it… They will have to reevaluate this game efficiency R-27ER situation because the 9-13 & 9-12s in the game now will get dunked on when ARH come in whether they have the ER or not.
They will need to drop BR, but cannot because the ER. They are hard locked at 12.0 even though R-73s & Aim9Ms are found at lower BRs.
If they give them R73s without taking the ER they will stay at 12.0 or go up. Still getting dunked on. The need the ER removed given their R73s imo. They do not even have enough flares to make it.
Its already harder flying the Mig29G right now since you get so little CM. I can only imagine when update comes…

The F-35 has it open too
