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

proof

Even according to rons source

500 KPH maximum afterburner is 4.2G at 1000 meters irl

In game it’ll do about 5G

This chart for 1000 meters claims the same
IMG_0090

Meanwhile in game it’s over 5G which is ridiculous.

not “even”
even this soucre has underperforming data

hm in game it currently 4.6 g, butt seems like bug because it has same 4.6-4.7g near ground

@JFIESTASR
god damn i found only one speed that mig29 corresponds to my calculations
at 1000m 500kmh it has 4.7g and its perfectly match (but at lower alt it has same so need to stay at 1000m)

This source is correct it’s from the aerodynamics manual it’s the final say.

This also depends on the flight model. MiG-29 is one flight model that Statshark has some of the most variability in the past.

Fantastic

What I know is that the MiG-29 bleeds speed like absolute hell and it’s completely unrealistic, and I’ve already justified and proven it in my report. After that they can do whatever the hell they want, but right now the aircraft feels like it’s hauling ten elephants on its back

Did you use the fastest turn time chart lol.

It overperforms compared to that too.

At 600 kph it should take 20 odd seconds to complete the max rate turn

In game 15 ish

Can you link me that report again? I thought I had it saved but it seems not.

I’ve used what I needed to use to demonstrate it properly, not other things, because it wouldn’t make sense to test it with different parameters.

What’s obvious from miles away is that it feels like it’s dragging 20 tons, and everyone knows it shouldn’t be like that. I also demonstrate this, which makes the flight model a mess. This also causes other parts not to make sense either, so ask Gaijin what they have done

This report is a non event

It overperforms in speed loss

It should lose more speed in turns

Alright, then make a report, that’s it
