These weeks after the top tier sales, it’s very common. It’ll calm down in a few weeks, it’s always the same

does anyone know what gaijin modeled the Zhuks scan patterns off?
The scan pattern came to them in a dream.

MiG-29Kr is likely incapable of utilizing T/220 due to the lack of it ever being needed by the VMF…
But that’s never stopped gaijin from putting targeting pods on aircraft that shouldn’t have them.
Also nobody uses SAPSAN-E, it’s been more or less dead since the 2000s.

Almost fully spaded the KR. Although i love the new flight model, balancing the countermeasures consumption in this aircraft is very problematic. It really likes getting into knife fight In a phonebooth but when it does you have the risk of running out of countermeasures. Hell, even when someone like F-15 decides to focus on you, you will be going through CMs fairly quickly and left with single digits when you kill the guy. It would’ve really good if it had the SMTs countermeasure pods.

Seems this place became silent so lets fire it up.
Has anyone noticed there are little to no Mig29KR out there? Like people passing on this vehicle despite it is really good.
i stopped playing it so i can keep the research bonuses for the Su-35
I bet it is because KR line leads to nowhere thus not many bother to grind. Having 29SMT at 13.3 , Su27SM at 13.7 and Mig29M with more missiles at 13.7 does not help too.
Also, in this thread I’ve seen people glaze the Zhuk-M but for me it doesn’t really feel marginal upgrade. still takes a while to complete a scan and has the ghosting issue of N001. The vertical limit of -40 is also really meh too.
Is it? I’ve never notcied anything like that. Sometimes i see targets that radar fails to lock, but usually those are just bombs/missiles flying at very awkward angles. Other than that, switching to narrow scan is always useful to give you the refresh rate you want for closer combat. Compared to something like F-15C i can’t really say that AN/APG-63 is that much better, and 85 degrees on azimuth does help to keep your eyes on some enemies that try to flank you.
Both of them can carry same number of missiles, differences lies in quantity of R-77 and bein able to carry R27E’s.
Then again 29KR holds the fm and countermeasure advantages so its basically personal choice in that case.
Thats fair, personally I enjoy it a lot so its the only vehicle I use on these days.
meant more useful missiles as 77s are most of the time more useful than 73s. No 27ER is also a disadvantage as well
for some reason zhuk always felt off compared to other M radar ever since SMT. Sometimes it works as it should be, sometimes it wont lock or show phantom tracks.
Eh, i like having IR missiles for CQC battles so i will take them when i unlock my 29M anyway.
Missing 27E’s hurts tho not gonna lie.
Currently grinding out MiG-29KR, what do you all think of it? It’s obviously the better version of M right?
No.
The M 9.15 is probably better in air due to R-27s and more R-77s, but the KR is better at dueling, due to an improved FM.
the only thing the KR has over the M that would make a huge difference in ARB is the large caliber CMs.
I wonder who will be better in flight performance.
9.41 kr or 9.15D
But you forget, is also more snazzy looking. Is also relevant to arb.

9.15D still retains the wing of 9.15 and probably is a bit heavier than base model. Big question would be if it was re-engined with RD-33MK. MiG-35 is advertised with them, but I dunno if 9.15D airframe specifically used them.
I still can’t decide if I like 9.15 or 9.41 more. They kinda look like classic wood furniture AK vs modern plastic AK with tactical accessories in terms of visual difference.
Everything is improved by being put on a boat, thus naval mig is best mig.
