That’s probably the case, that’s why the mig29 feels so shitty.

Gaijin doesn’t care. Play western nations. İf you don’t wanna play west, play China, but just don’t touch Russia if you value your time

Ikr, i’m actually pretty discouraged to play wt overall, too many issues.
Last week they restricted me from using the forum cuz i was offline for too long from the main game lol

Is that a thing ? That’s delusional…
Seeing the new UFO FM like the JF-17 and J-10 makes me want to cry real hard when I compare how realistic the MiG-29 can be yet have to face a shitload if UFOs… it’s literally mars attack

They seriously do, WT has been going downhill in the past 2 years and it’s worse when it comes to models, FM balance etc.
They have gold in their hands but always chose the worse approach

Doubt it would do anything purely for WT already well established. It like CoD - no matter how bad or good it actually is, it is the most popular and recognisable

That’s not true at all, this isn’t anything like COD. The fanbase 100% would not be dedicated to this game if there was even a remotely similar one available. All they’d need to do is communicate better with the players and PLAY THEIR OWN GAME.

You sure? Maybe not whole “Combine arms” kind of deal, but session played vehicles based online games? There’s few (with the Irony of Gaijin being a publisher for some of them too) and only thing I can recall is ancient “my is better” between WoT and WT fans
If you’re going to broaden the brackets until you fit any game with multiplayer and tanks + planes you’re going to include COD but that doesn’t make them similar. There is quite literally not a single game similar to War Thunder on the market. Nothing can take the place or challenge it at the moment.
It would be easy too, talk to the players. See what they actually want. Instead the best we’ve got is some suggestions made by the devs themselves and implemented in a manner they see fit with the illusion that we got what we wanted. We’re running in place here.

100%, the lack of competitors is probably the main reason behind their pathetic laziness, they control the niche.

The practical aerodynamics manual for MiG-29 uses some of the following load outs when it refers to ~13 tons 1500 kg fuel
#1 (13015 kg)
4 P-62 pylons & 2 R-60
2 APU-470 pylons
1x 150 30mm rounds
#2 (~13250 kg)
2 APU-470
2x R-27R
1x 150 30mm rounds
The War thunder & DCS MiG-29 (clean) underperform the real MiG-29 (with racks).
Attached one case where it clarifies 13t loadout.
It might also be the case 0.86 Oswald (MiG-29) refers to clean without racks, and 0.75 refers to an armed configuration (Su-27).
Root of the problem is Gaijin FM, the whole plane (not just wings) should have 0.86 Oswald.

Oswald number in-game does not correlate to the real life numbers in many cases - for the Su-27 the issue lies not solely in the oswald coefficient but in many other values as well.

This is sustained turn rate, not instantaneous.
