Depends on how Gaijin implements ARMs but…
R-27EP from rumors I’ve heard is primarily J-Band like AGM-122, meaning that most top tier SPAAs aren’t targetable by R-27P/EP.
Also like… Kh-31PD is much better anyways…

I see, but against air targets I mean it could be OP (other than just turning off radar)
But for ground yea 31 is leagues better
Though it was equipped with the Zhuk-AE at MAKS 2019 which would give it the best radar on a MiG
The new testbed MiG-29 9.41x from a bit ago had Zhuk-AME and an updated cockpit, testing for T-75, technically it’s the best radar for Russian MiG-29s atm.

well becasue the 27EP is meant to hit fighters and not SAMs, for that you have the Kh-31
atleast that is what knaapo advertised the r-27ep for
thats what it was designed for
finally, the perfect anti-F-14 weapon
i dont think that we would see the 27ep in the br range of the F-14
no since firing the 27ep is a bit more complex than firing a 27et
bc your plane needs to be able to designate a radar to target and not every plane carring the 27et has the avionics for that
so its not as simple as “27(e)p is compatible with everything that has the 27(e)t”
and well ontop of that, gaijin might just say that certain jets wont get it due to balancing

Shh, let me cope
Markovsky my beloved.
I believe if they’re equipped with a subvariant of BZPP-4 they can.
However cannot without said improvement.

Man Fulcrum’s flight model is so pathetic its not even funny at this point.
I just got out from a match where i did dogfight with fully spaded Mig29M in my half baked J15T, despite my all disadvantages (such as lacking new engine , cover , airframe while still carrying at least 4 missiles) i managed to beat him with moderate effort.
Before i killed him he has basically stalled and falling out of sky, mind you this one suppose to be best Mig29 version we have in game right now…

it has a worse FM than the 9.12
That’s why i said ‘‘suppose’’ to.
It took them more than 2 years with tons of reports to make a good fm for the flanker, i believe they will improve the mig29 at some point but being the “secondary” option for russian top tier i don’t expect it anytime soon.
With the community’s overwhelming preference for the su-27 there’s just no reason for them to worry about the mig29, unfortunately…
This is really sad cuz i kinda waited for its addition for a long time lol
Same, 29M is my favorite Fulcrum actually.
Poor guy tried to kill me with R-73 HOBS shot, first his missile failed him then his plane did.
That thing suppose to beat the shit out of me considering he was spaded and I was not while carrying missiles.
and now test the str ingame and put it also in that chart
Almost like I tested it to make sure it’s at least close to the values that statshark spits out.
It’s also overperforming in energy retention it should bleed off speed more quickly.
