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

yeah thats the conclusion i came to when searching for info about the N041 just being a re designated N010M, ive heard it being used on 9.19R and 9.41SR

It’s technically just 9.41/41R for the 29K, 9.41S is 29M

this might be the only plane with R-60M that also has an R-60 modification if im not mistaken

9.41SR is for the MiG-35

MiG-35 is 9.61/67.

yeah but the 9.61/67 are the early/limited production variants that was for export like the indian MMRCA and these featured the Zhuk-AE. Meanwhile the ones that entered service with the VKS in the late 2010s and 2020s have the Zhuk-M N1010M7N041 and are called 9.41/47SR

9.67 MMRCA

9.41VKS

All MiG-35 is 9.61/67.

All MiG-35s have N010M, Zhuk-AE was only a mockup which never went anywhere.

The ones that the VKS has are also 9.61/67s, with N010M.

9.41 is K and modern M iirc.

Yup, for modern Ks and Ms.

Not even the Floggers have to research through the regular R-60s. It’s shameful

I think it was done in symmetry with F-16A that has to research trough AIM-9J before it can get Lima. And Floggers technically also have to go trough rear aspect heat seeker phase, just with R-13 instead

None of which applies anymore bc the Block 10 is a lower BR and the Block 15 does get stock 9Ls (and now they gave it 120s) xd

Oh and the Fulcrum is more than a whole BR step above the Flogger, and still has to go through a rear aspect missile xdxd and pretty much for nothing, since anyone would only carry 2 R-60s since you get stock 2x60M + 2x27 xdxdxd

Not even the 141 has to put up with this treatment. Gaijin cracks me up xdxdxdxd

yeah i researched napalm on the mig first bc imo two napalm are more useful than two rear aspect r-60’s

i mean, MiG-29 also gets stock R-60Ms. I am not saying that they are equal to 9Ls but by gaijin logic everything fits.

I posted a test indicating that the in-game MiG-29 was not dynamic enough compared to the real one, but the moderator closed my thread.

So the moderator says a serious document is needed, but what about “practical aerodynamics of Mig-29”, isn’t it a frivolous document?
I think there’s a double standard here.

becasue you made the report incorrectly

you have to attach the whole page with the important information and the cover page of the document

What was the point of closing the report without the ability to add anything to it?

I recreated the bug report with an image of the title page of manual.

I am warming up to MiG-29SMT. With 13.3 being filled with hordes of Su-30 you are really effective at bonking stuff with amazing radar gimbal limit as well as solid 6 missiles.
Wish we had 9.15 as well alonside it so i can trade slightly worse RWR for 2 additional R-77s

you need to post the full page (not cropped)

If you have china you can play the Chinese flanker that’s somehow at 13.3. Best 13.3 in the game imo, even better than 29smt
