Grey stuff is composites. Yellow is your «regular» alloy

Is that the export radar on Soviet 9-12? (not that it really matters in-game?)

I’m waiting for someone make suggestions domestic USSR/RU MiG-29 two-seater in the future

Unfortunately out of the 3 options specifically for Russia, they’re all kinda lack luster… Ignoring the 9.41 based airframes at least.

Lackluster? That sounds like exactly what Gaijin is looking for in every Fulcrum implementation

With the 29M, when you’re in TWS mode and detect a target on the HUD and select it with TWS, a small arrow appears at the bottom left showing the direction the target is heading. However, when you lock it and switch to STT mode, that arrow disappears. Shouldn’t that arrow remain so it always indicates the direction the target is moving?

That is wrong right?

TWS

STT

it is
but my mig-29 hud reports are all getting ignored

here is the report that includes that specific issue

Well, imagine MiG-29 9.13, but no radar, slightly heavier, and with SPO-15LM/L-150 w/ UV-5-08 depending on the model…

Or an even more obese MiG-29SMT with an itty bitty plate sized radar dish and SPO-15LM…

hes so pretty

Don’t u mean one of the ‘UB’ trainer variants without radar (IRST only) but with added bullet sponge and weight of additional controls?

More like a ghoul.

I would’ve despise and burn this MiG I was the Mikoyan himself.

for fun did few tests to compare mig fm to manual with other planes
mig correspond ratio to PA and german manual is 1 (with like 1-2% losses in some moments)
there is no “its slighty better then in manual” like devs like to answer
then i compared it to others
if statshark doesnt lie the f16c and f18c hard overperfrom turn in their manuals
f16c like 0.6 sustained g
f18 like 2-4deg (insane) at sustained turn on low speeds, and underperform 1-1.5 on high speed
f15a tested in game, overperform manual like 0.3-0.5g maybe more
