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

I want the black one

AESA will be a bit of a struggle bus most liklely, with only 6 missiles at 14.3. US coped their way into 12 missiles on Giggle because 8 at 14.3 was pretty underwhelming

Good analogue to the PoBIT.

(I love the PoBIT)

Ds are a bit better for BVR due to GNSS, but i guess you’re right, they will be in the same boat

when you are trying to play smart in your MiG-29 but enemy team just eats all of the early game AIM-120s launched at them

I can manage it.
But i will never take the 9.15.

9.15 is pretty good, wdym?

The white one is the 9.15D right ?

no, both are 9.41. white one is the version in service with RuAF, black one is a tech demonstrator owned by MiG privately.

Oh i thought it was the india proposed 9.15d.

Both are fine. Still prefer the aesa

This one could make an interesting event jet ngl. Good avionics, 8 R-77s and AESA. It also has RD-33MK iirc, so no significant engine problems either

6? Thought 35 can also carry 8 missiles in total?

yeah, but R-73 at 14.3 is more of a emotional support missile than a combat one. I should’ve said 6 Fox-3s instead

I prefer 2 ir missile for sticky situations so its fine for me anyway.

I can understand people who wants to to use 8 fox-3 missiles tho.

So MiG-35 will be nice at 14.3 if it gets AESA and R-77-1.

Yep, so only question if gaijin will stick to strictly modelling in-service version, or give it AESA from tech demonstrator on the ground of technicall compatibility and “existance” of a MiG-35 in such configuration. Ideally they could make both at 14.0-14.3 brs to saturate MiG line more, but i am not sure that such amount of grind is a good idea in this economy

Hopefully it recieves AESA radar as we seen on Typhoons considering they also haven’t recieved in active service.

Gave the PoBit a try and managed to unlock all the important mods in Nuclear Thunder, actually not a as bad of a jet as I thought, but I despise the extra countermeasure decision they made.

Not being able to mount PIDS with an AIM-120D sucks, but idm the basic Countermeasures.

I just bring all Large Cal as Flares and the Normal Cal as Chaff.

90 is not the end of the world, but being able to take idk, 100/200 more with the pod should have been a choice.

(with amraams that is)

For sure, having an Extra 200 CMs and MAWS would be nice.

But oh well. It’s Gaijin .
