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

Shush, Kuznetsov slander shall not be tolerated. Big man is finally resting for good.

Will be MiG-29M able carry 4x R-27ET?


airwar shows this table for the weapon loadouts. Dunno how accurate it is

Aaaand second question…RD-33K have what fuel consumption compared to standard RD-33?

According to Gordon - 7% less specific fuel consumption on afterburner

airwar also gives this table without saying what is the source of it

Poor thing is getting so old, might happen like old people
Still crazy how Russia now has carrier air wings but no carrier

does it have 7% less in game or is it still the same as on the older migs?

in the game probably not, the su30sm2 has only two
in files mig now have same

It feels less, but i dunno exactly. Statshark doesn’t show it as well, so probably only dataminers could look it up for sure

Pitty. Well nevermind. 6x R-73 + 2x R-27ET is still good.

u could do a simple timed test between the 9.15 and other mig’s - localhost shows remaining fuel in kg, or u could get it from wtrti too (which is also based on local host numbers but overlayed in game). Just would need to make sure u start the test on same alt/speed so its reasonably similar engine states - might not be scientific with the different acceleration rates causing rpm differences but I would imagine should be close enough to see if its even modeled differently.

I could do it myself…but cant be stuffed rn lmao

yeah, only 2 ER or ET, but up to 4 R or T (kinda useless but might work during module grind)
