Hmm… I feel like this should not be case on mig29k specifically /s

There is no resolution data for the new mig29/35 but if what random people say and if it has 1 arc minute instead of 15 like on old Mig29s, then yeah picture would be 10 800 × 4 500 and you could do shit ton more with that

Website acutally mentions R27 or KH29 on other airplanes, but realistically i would think Mig29K wouldn’t use KH29 with it being at sea and all…

Fantom has a lot of inside sources.

Uhm… it would be physically unwise then to post stuff on the web

Yet they are seemingly never willing to share them for some reason…

thats why its hidden for us

I think so too.

But I’m not Fantom. :p

becasue they could be used to buff/ nerf a plane that they dislike/like

Just forward his ahh to the embassy they will know (I AM KIDDING)

Yeah i like Mig29 so much it should just be at 14.7 just to show how op it is to the western player base

I’ll just ask what his source is.

Its truely incredible behavior honestly.

okay fantom has a massive collection of sources fuck me

I decided to just look through the MiG-29 manual myself and it seems like he’s right.

There’s no mention of Chaff.

@Balta779517-live you’re the MiG-29 guy.

please give me some info saying they had chaff… 🥀

there is a pilot interview where they talk about shooting chaff out the cannon

Like the gun…???

I was reading a bit on the ED forums and there was some speculation they could load one CM pod with chaff and the other with flares, so a 30-30 split, but I didn’t see any evidence for it.

CM block utilizes 26mm rounds, there is 26mm chaff and flare rounds not being able to choose the type of rounds to fire doesn’t mean you cannot fire the other kind…
