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

Do you have an idea when you will be done with bug reports ? If you need anything or else, hit me up, I’d be glad to help in any way.

Thanks for helping improve the 29 !

It will be at the earliest next week sometime, very busy until then. Getting accurate data with in game tests to apply to the longitudinal acceleration chart is a decent bit harder and more time consuming compared to just normal sustained rate testing - which is why i haven’t been able to pump it out yet.

Would be interesting to look into. I know looking at dcs isn’t at all a source for anything, especially missiles since how the CM’s function in that are literally just pure rng. But r60’s are monumentally more reliable in DCS from what i’ve seen, able to withstand considerably more flares then in WT. If the historical sources actually did imply that the r60’s had such poor flare resistance, even with a rng based flare system it would still be easy to model the missile it to reflect the source at least somewhat accurately.

So would be interesting to have a look to try to find what sources DCS used for reference, cause there is a massive discrepancy. It could very well be that the r60’s we have in game rn are just incidentally carrying on deliberately imposed nerfs from way back when they were first implemented, and never got readjusted back up to their full performance (like magic’s have) to match the current capabilities of the competition. Or it could also be that they are actually just trash lol - who knows.

In my opinion, remove R-27ER & R-27ET from MiG-29SMT (9-19) but in the future R-77-1 swap R-27R & R-27T

That’s the only reason to play with the smt, without its bvr stuff It’ll suck ass

Not any need to gatekeep the ET/ER on a 13.0 jet, its a very modern mig and would be able to take them when added in the future regardless.

İt already sucks

I believe you have no documentation for your claim and you just make it up Mig-23m ish style cause you are pissed

Aww that was the lowest blow. I am making it up Mig-23M style!

Pissed about what?

What documentation you need? What can I do to win your vote? :)

like lack of mention of radar slaving in the manuals

BTW he brings up documentations, not telecom dishes

OEPS manuals states that the HMS can only be used for R60M, R73, R27T & ET. Like pretty much verbatim.

Because telecommunications go hand in hand, they operate on RF frequencies.

They are the most damaging evidence that leaves no room for interpretation. People are upset because I leave no room for interpretation. The technology is just not there.

Its an angle people least expected so they demand I we go over word for word their sources each time it is discovered they misinterpreted what they read.

bring up the section

so do whales what does that even mean.
the telecom antennas you mention are set to a fixed position, if the screw is not tight enough a wind is gonna cost you a hungover morning and a ladder

bro we dissected it in the Su27 topic go check it out I am tired. You know how many people tried to challenge this already freaking out?

Please no more riddles, no more analogies I will catch you later.

your reasoning is freaking me out , Are you going to attempt bring up the F-4J? Or F-4B as an example?? These radars were far more powerful, advanced & did not need secondary reflectors… They were so technologically powerful it required a literal Radar Intercept Officer to manage in the back… The F-4B’s AN/APQ-72 had a scan zone of 120 degrees and its elevation angle can be adjusted to a maximum deviation of ± 60 degrees from course…

do you even know why US did put 2 crew on F4? it had to do with having no guns .
missiles were going to be the future so they dedicated a seat for a weapon officer in the back to set up the weapons it was gonna fire.

and by your judgment Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection - #2437 by Ziggy1989

they can not track targets in anyway shape or form cause dish does not move, how do they manage look up modes?

link?

Why?

He probably meant MiG 29A(9.12/9.13). They should remove its R27Es and give it R-73 instead.
Base R-27s are good enough for its BR.

My reasoning freaked you out? That is reference to that specific person’s only argument “what about the F-4J.”
The F-4J had a vastly more capable radar dish than the Mig-23, Mig-29 & Su27. its 100 percent verifiable. But you are not trying to hear all that.

Did you read the other’s sources stating specifically that only the IR missiles can be used with the HMS reticle & OEPS?

Or you would like to talk more about the F-4 because this somehow makes the truth less true??
