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

Would the 9-31 model out perform the 9-41 model in flight performance? As far as I can tell the 9-31 is a Mig29m but with the naval wings and engines of the 41?

Correct me if I am wrong

If it was a JF17 blk 3 it wouldve been so much better…but here take your F35…

It wouldn’t. 9.31 and 9.41 have the same weight, but 9.31 engines are weaker, and naval wing of 9.31 have smaller surface area of flap section (but still slightly bigger than 9.15).

This is stretching the definition of “modern” by quite a bit, but I guess now I understand from where Gaijin took their inspiration of USSR top tier before Su-30SM and overall buffs to flankers and radars

Well it’s either that or MiG-29S (also with just R-77s) if you want something with ARH missiles at all on red side. DCS is completely in favor of western, american jets.

saw this from a old image

Probably a MFD bug.

I might buy it whenever they add GCI, but until then I’ll probably hold off.

is the mig being ascended to heaven or what ?

Its the HUD recorder, some reason they removed it some time back, probably around when they started doing custom MFD pages

I remember on the old forums someone had posted a picture of the real life HUD recorder view

you cannot choose what CMs to take.

is it altleast half chaff and half flares?

All flares.

I J’d out to fix it and couldn’t.

and it took my spawn points… :(

@Stona_WT I assume we’re meant to be able to change the CMs right? Or at least bring chaff?

If not then… that’s an odd balancing decisions.
