How is the Mig29K performance guys?

So far it seems decent and i managed to grind halfway already, if its halfway decent its gonna be good experience.

Btw Snail decided to bless my 29K grind with 1m sl, gonna be fun i believe.

i think this version for Yak-130 didn’t see the light, because on photos they use regular pods placed under CM pods

i wonder if we could see these added like the PIDS since they also have a MAW function

So, in summary too that MiG-29KR is excels well in two circle fight?

yes

while being able to stand its own in one circle fights as well due to its sheer engine power which means that you can pull more while lossing less speed

aslo to add onto what @JFIESTASR said:

the SEP lines besides SEP 0 can be understood as this

at SEP 300 ft/s you are able to pull a certain ammount of °/s while being able to gain 300ft of altitude

you can use that to either climb and gain energy through altitude or you stay at the same altitude and gain that energy in form of extra speed

at SEP -1200 ft/s shows how many °/s you can pull while losing that ammount of altitude or speed

having higher negative SEP lines in a direct comparison means that you will lose less speed while pulling the same ammount than a plane with lower negative SEP lines

It’s nice to see MiG-29 is no more being complete trash. I used to really love MiG-29 because its nimbleness. Thank you Gaijin, besides from the current drama on the copypaste issue lol.

which mig-29 is that in the irl image?

Indian MiG-29K

Is KR worth researching if i already have the SMT? Going in between Yak-130 and this aircraft to research first.

yes

I assume flight performance wise it is better than the SMT? I can also just spade the 27SM instead of wasting time grining KR

flight performance is the best out of all the flankers and fulcrums currently but in a regular arb match it’s still worse than the su-27sm cause of missile loadout.

It is leagues ahead of the smt

flight model and flight performance on the KR destroys the SMT

With the possible upcoming nuke report for the flankers I might even say that the MiG’s are gonna get revenge, at least FM wise.
