OOOHHH YEAAAHH
2026: Three years later finally they add the R73s to the MiG-29 (9.13), but they move it to 13.0 with the SPO-15, Fox-3 spam, totally balanced at the same BR as the Su-27 with 10 missiles, a better flight model, and a better radar and more powerful countermeasures
Ye, i know. My stats unironically skyrocketed once i started to play purely US
Since January i am playing US only
Theres probably a catch to this. They probably nerfed the FM more. No way theyd even consider adding this otherwise
Ive had the same experience switching from ussr to us in prop tier years ago. From the dogshit shvaks of that time that did 0 dmg to guaranteed fire 50 cals. Most planes are lower br than their equivalents but the teammates were stupid as well
USSR props nowadays are quite solid with ShVAKs being extremely consistent against fighter targets and Lavochkins got improved flight models. but US jets and superprops are so hand held it’s unreal.
Now yes they are good, back then they were useless before they changed all weapons
Should it be peak ? I kinda lost hope
What are they even thinking? More agonizing unplayable 12.7 slop to grind through, and pushing the 9-13 higher than F-15A, same as F-2 ADTW, same as Su-27S with 6 ER and 4 73, not to mention how ridiculous the 12,7-13.3 compression is at the moment. On what basis can this be seen as sane by even the most deranged USA main? Send the 9-12 to 12.3 or something and keep 9-13 as 12.7, or better yet, move all fox 3 BR terrorists up and do actual decompression for the love of god.
More like bleak. You are now a glorified Su-27 that was robbed out of 4 R-27ERs
Not even a folder.
Now i have to grind 9.12 to have my mig29 half peak again
Welp.
I’m still gonna grind the 9.12 because it looks better.
At least Russia got a plane…
Will surely be foldered after a bit
I prefer 9.13, downward slope on it is much smoother imo
Fair. I’ve just always thought of the 9.12 whenever I think about MiG-29s.
You don’t have any of the other 9.12s?
They’re in like every tech tree it feels like.
I’m not gonna grind it as I already got 3 other mig 29s, 2 of them being the 9.12
I do, but I like my Russian planes in the Russian tech tree.
The only MiG-29s I’ve played outside of Russia are the 29G and the 29N.
Italy, Germany, Japan and now Russia, MiG-29 really becomes new F-16 in terms of being copy pasted everywhere
Hmmm…
MiG-29… F-16…
I wonder what these planes have in common…
One gets shafted constantly by Gaijin, other… is an F-16
