engines still leave a giant coal trail

gaijin removed avionics blocks on the sides on every Fulcrum

they fixed some of it, when you spawn in with a drop tank and release it you actually lose some of the fuel now

MiG-29M radar report
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/TbgOeDVTswBe

this should also affect the 141s radar afaik. Unless its using some different variant of the Zhuk i dont know about
image

the 141 already has a different radar

it has the base N010

the 29smt also always had the N010M but it was just shown incorrectly on the statcard

yeah but i was refering to if they implement the base N010 report for the 9-15 it would also affect the 141 with its DL channels being increased from 1 to 4

who knows

Looked up his books in original language, holy shit author is premium 80-125$ USD Not even professional literature goes that high, but the schematics look very good.

i found the source of the N019 3D model

look at how the inside of the radar looks like

this is how it should look like inside there

Tehcnically yes, but not in-game.

It should have this version of Zhuk with horisontal mechanical scan and electronical vertical scan, but there is barely any information about it

I wonder how that would even work.
Also I feel like horizontal electronic beam steering would be ebtter than vertical beam steering

I wouldn’t be surprised if it had a scan pattern similar to IRST and not your usual horizontal sweep. I might be wrong but I think this weird combination was done due to the space constraints, Yak-141 nose is too small to fit vertical joint and hydraulics
