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

I agree, but if that’s the case shouldn’t there be a way to select flares or chaff? in the image there’s just one button.

Sry i misspoke, i mean that you can only fire CM and what actually would be fired is decided by what you inserted into the CM blocks, which can be both Flare and Chaff

i dont have anything on that, would gaijin even implement this tbh?

They did implement it the other way on the Yak28…

Ohhh.

That would make sense on what I read on the ED forums, putting Chaff in one dispenser and Flares in the other.

Balta. You of all people should know how Gaijin feels about the MiG-29.

I found a 3D remake of a MiG-29 throttle, for a better view.

Well it is В. П. - two words, if it is about CM then it would be - “Выброс Помех” which would literally translate into ‘Release Countermeasures’

And yeah it doesnt sound like you can choose, but it doesnt say that you cant fire chaff (ДО) and that you can only fire flares (ЛТЦ)

I think he is about GSH23mm it can and Tu95 in game does that, but idk about 30mm

He does also say vertical chaff/flare dispensers on the fins.

This newest comment is funny asf.

very disappointing it is like this in the community

I don’t think Fantom really likes or dislikes the MiG-29s, I know he’s just… really big on Historical accuracy.

is he tho?
becasue this seems just spiteful

especially since there is nothing explicitly stating that it cant use chaff
and why report it now 3 years after the mig got added

im not trying to blame Fantom personally but i know there are people that actually are like this

yeah it seemed kinda strange withholding this for all these years but suddenly writing this, especially since its something this serious such as losing ability to use chaff

If I had to guess maybe he just now noticed it?

I don’t know.

from what i know its cause they cant be bothered to search for singular things so when they do bug report they bug report multiple things they found at once

like they responded to someone asking if the MIG-23ML radar was wrong with 3 pictures of atleast 20 files per picture telling them they cant be bothered to waste their time
