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

idk about 14.0…

I think it’d be alright at 13.7, going up against F-16C’s, F-15C’s (and JMs), Gripen C’s…

It’s like the Su-30SM.

Crappy FM, but good radar and missiles.

… but it has a worse radar, and a lot less missiles, and a worse flight model…

I’ve really liked this one.

I did also find one based on Red 22, but I don’t think it looks as good as it does IRL.


Well, it is a step below F-16C despite similar armament, so gaijin could probably squeeze it at 13.7… but R-77-1 without launch limits combined with 85 degrees of radar gimbal might be a tad too strong for 13.7

Yeaaaa. True. I forgot about the no launch limit…

Still though, It’s a Fulcrum, they aren’t exactly the most potent threat.


Fuel hump on this one looks interesting. On the unpainted photos it looks made out of your regular alloy with riveted sections, but this one looks like it is made as a single piece. It also has a similar warning writing to the carbon fiber parts, but its unreadable what exactly is written

I found a decent photo-

It’s definitely one piece, but I don’t see any text…

It sorta is if you squint hard enough and are fine with not being able to read parts of each page.

look at the red cross on the hump. It seems the text was on the paint that got scratched

I would love to see this Camo in game for the MiG-29s. Something abt an all black camo just makes the aircraft look so much better! Sadly i could find this exact one on WT live so i had to settle for that Naval Camo on my 9.13

Have they made any changes on the flight models of the MiG-29s on the dev server?

no

Barn door FM it is, then.

Which is comical considering BVP-30 were removed from the usual vertical stab root placement for aerodynamic reasons. I guess we are used with Gaijin comedy at this point … But hey if they insist on making a fictional 9.15 model then i see no reason why Gaijin couldn’t give it additional UV-5-08 .

Surely they knew about the spine mounted CM dispenser while researching the 9.15 but those goobers went with the vertical stabilizer mounted ones like 🥀

Do they want the 9.15 to suffer?

wait until they remove those and add launchers from 9.41 with 32 countermeasures total

It’s a fulcrum, the answer should be obvious
