Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

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

So almost like an “half pesa” in some sort of way?

Well, only similarity is electronically controlled beam. Technology is significantly different

Do we have any other data on the characteristics of H010 other than?

I think gaijin mostly uses data from Zhuk-ME brochure and just reduced the range for base N010 model

I was asking about other sources, not what Gaijin used.

I’d like to find more information about the H010.

As much as people hate fuel hump on SMT, i actually don’t think that it’s that bad looking. If they’ve made the line a bit smoother it would be even better looking

Tbh the SMT is fine with its hunchback imo, but I do have weird taste (I also like the CFTs of the F-16E for example)

F-16 and F-18 CFTs are quite cool imo. They give off something of a futuristic vibe. F-15 CFTs, however… just make it look fat

F-15E slander will not be tolerated
makes it look muscular

More like Fat-15.
