We’re slowly going from kicking the dead horse, to having “intimate” relations with it

Engine thrust correction absolutely nukes the rate, as expected. But that MiG-35 chart looks promising (Gaijin will make it heavier than 29K because good things aren’t allowed in Mikoyan family)

Is 0.42 build available?

It seems that they have reached a conclusion on how to modify this aircraft. Hopefully, it’s not about removing the R-27. With only 6 R-77s and 32 decoys, it becomes the weakest one in the 13.7BR category.

The Chinese media claimed in their propaganda that the MiG-35 is equipped with the RD-33MKM engine. However, I couldn’t find any information about this engine. Does this model actually exist?

Gaijin definitely aren’t beating the criticisms that they locked the best MiG-29 behind the squadron grind/paywall.

They really just removed MIG29K R-27 without making any other compensations. My goodness!


RIP R-27

Does it have the statcard image?

it does. Textures got updated yet again, now it has nozzles with anti-corrosion layer and airframe details are much more pronounced

Nice, the modification tab looks pretty empty ngl, my brotha got robbed of everything (even if realistically)

I hope you mean details as in DETAILS and not as in “open air museum rot and mold”


looks pretty clean for now

Nice, it retains the clean look, they should all be like this…

They seem to mess up the radar again. Tried to use ASMs but they simply wouldn’t launch despite the lock in SEA mode. And after i fiddled with the radar it stopped locking naval stuff completely
TWS SEA works fine, at least on SM2.

Always a coin flip whether you get something nice and clean like this or scuffed like the Su-34

That’s clearly because gaijin want it to be great air superiority fighter at 13.7, with no ground ordnance as balance.
Clearly.

For seizing air superiority in 1.37BR, there is no better candidate than the SU-27SM. Currently, the MIG-29K is a completely useless vehicle with no redeeming qualities that would make one choose it.

32 cm’s, a bottle of vodka and prayers at 13.7
