Only loses to blk10

nope

where would the KR rank overall in terms of dog fighter performance tbh?

Overall, go fight a block 10 if you want and I mean with a TSS level, KR struggles to pull sometimes and you eventually die from the guy cutting in your circle

Whether u have good lines or not

its only behind the eurocanards and f-2

the f-16 will lose more speed when pullin
the f-16 will regain less speed when not pulling
the 29KR has the AoA button, the F-16 dosent

the only thing the f-16 has over the 29KR is that it can pull a bit more AoA before stalling

and that is completly ignoring sustained turnrates

that is assuming the KR would be able to run 110% throttle tho? which in reality it wouldnt

you can
you only need to drop the throttle for like 1 second every now and then

i guess yeah tbh

yeah these values arent helping when trying to decide the weight

I don’t know how good u are in dools but the ability to just cut from the blk 10 makes the KR life pretty difficult

Id be down to show you if you want tho


I found the reason behind MiG-29 underwhelming performance

i dunno how accurate cockpit modelling is for MiG-29K, but judging by this panel it has a jamming equipment built-in (or at least compatible with jammer pods)

Every mig29 since 9.13’s has internal ECM afaik

Can you explain it? I’m too dumb for the turn performance chart lol.
