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

Funny how the Flankers actually can outrate the MiG-29 now

A shame really… Aren’t there, like, very detailed documents available from, idk, East Germany or something?

I’m not too well-versed with the Fulcrum, I believe a lot of sources have already been submitted but for some reason, Gaijin doesn’t seem too interested in changing it.

Funnily enough by gaijin logic it actually can be implemented. KLIVT can be installed on serial production RD-33 and was approved for installation on serial production MiG-29Ms… that was cancelled by Russian MoD. Technical compatibility is there

Moreover AL-31F-M1 was shown with same KLIVT on Su-27 flying laboratory, so technically we can get Su-27SM with TVC

9-15 has completely different aerodynamic and moments

only the buff mig29 could take is the sustained turn rate at high speeds, it should be ≈ 5% more then su27 irl
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/7WS0Ns2g6OZN
the sustained turn at speeds lower then 850kmh IAS is accurate
at low speeds its too missing the Cy but its no chances to prove it

this is no mistake
flanker have advantage on speeds lower then 800 and mass lower then 21000

rd33 with tvc can be installed even in 9-12 or 9-13 with no FBW

sad

Probably being worked on like the gripen E or SM2 were in the last dev

imho it wont be in this patch

funny how for the SM2 and the Grippy they made different placeholders, the SM2 had a darker SM camo and the Grippy had nothing at all

Yeah sadly, but we can still h/c ope

All depends on how long the dev server goes for, if it gets extended for an extra half week or so, then I think there’s a pretty solid chance.

the Gripen E hasnt been in the files until around a week of the dev server
and neither was the 30SM2

then maybe we have a chance
but then the question is why wasnt it in the trailer
this is new plane, when su30 and j39 is a modifications

no it isnt a new plane

its in no way different from the Gripen E

F/A-18E is also just a modification too right?
