Not only Es, but they also can’t even use R-27Ts as well. Only R-27R/R1

So it would seem. Hopefully we can get the loadout fixed and the Fulcrums moved down.
Maybe give those 12.7 F-15s something to go up against lmao.
Yeah, would be great. I’ll gather all i can get over the weekends and holiday, and try to make a proper bug report about this. Hopefully gaijin won’t be stubborn with this, because this is a case of something having completely incompatible weaponry.

Good luck, if you need any help lemme know and I’ll see what I can find.

Best solution: add the mig29S without r77s and move the 9.13 down while removing the ER
what about the 9.12 we just got?
Without ERs it’s probably gonna move to 12.3, because ERs is pretty much the only thing that keeps it afloat at 12.7
it only got r60s, another solution would be giving it r73s. I forgot about its addition hehe
Why would it? Not saying it shouldn’t, br compression and all that
Gaming wise airframe is ‘average’~ ish at the br, 2 SARH + 4 Dumb IR is common~ at 12.7 (various F16, maybe 1-2 fr*nch things) with only exemption of sarh lacking stuff like one fr*nch f-16, and some, going down just requires a bit of more of a handicap compared to other platforms… Like F16 w/o sarh and good ir.
I am gonna pretend F18 A or earlies, F15’s do not exist (apart from sparrows having the brain of a sparrow they are ‘better’ on paper, and the P***** sparrow being better (ish) than R27R
And if it gets only 6 R60M it would be just worse pain than 12.3 F16…
Except you can’t pretend that they don’t exist. This is how gaijin sees br brackets right now and there is no way in hell that MIG-29 9.12 is better than F-18A if you take ERs away. Same as MiG-29 9.13 without ERs is not better than F-15A or F-18C early.
Otherwise i have to wear a clown mask trying to juggle how 4 brain dead sarh + 4 irrcm is somehow same as 2 sarh and 4 dumb ir
Just give it working (aka not annoying) sarh and balance around it
F-18 A is straight up better than any F16 from 12.3 - 12.7 (excluding maybe fr*nch)
F15/F18 is so much of a ‘anomaly’ in balancing system that you would start thinking this is the game about stalking ppl or smth
Sparrows are far from braindead, especiall F and M models.
There is no such thing as anomaly. F-18 and F-15 became new balancing standard at this point
dont forget the 7P thats carried by the premium hornets

F & M are chuds compared to the P, you all know what P stands for, USA wouldn’t have named it that if it didnt prerform
Ability to unlock & relock is too important when people ‘know’ how to notch, head on sure (unless they do fancy roll) this feature allows me, an average at best to save even shit shots, effectively making it R27R with triple the amount at same br.
Sadly yeah, only new&shiny matter, like everywhere else…
IOG + DL might get it the edge in very questionable launches, but i am using sparrows at targets that will not notch it in time, or will not see it in time, so for me they perform pretty good, even on F-15A in 13.3 bracket.
Or a wallet warrior

What about the Sniper? Do we know if that was compatible with R-27E’s?
Probably not, upgrades of Sniper were aimed at NATO weaponry and avionics compatibility (installation of MIL-STD-1553B data bus, and western GPS, RWR and radiocommunication). Program was closed because of “insurmounable odds in regards of some avionics” so i think they couldn’t make new FCS and Soviet radar to work together.

Gl reporting it.
I already tried when I found out like 3 months ago just to be hit with “it doesn’t prove incompatibility”.

Like hell it doesn’t. If FCS is literally incompatible - there is no proof more solid than that. And unlike modern software based FCS updates, SUV-29 can’t be simply updated, that’s why MIG-29S features upgraded SUV-29M with upgraded N019M as well.
But anyways, can you share the sources that you used if it’s not much trouble? I want to make this report as thorough as possible.

Is there any technical moderator that could provide some clarification based on technical compatibility?
The 9.41/9.47 based MiG-29M/MiG-29K/MiG-35 are all built from the same base air frame as part of MiGs unified fighters family with the only major differences airframe wise being the K model receiving an folding wing mechanism and arrestor hook for carrier operations.
And i was wondering with the countermeasure system on board if it is technically possible for a different countermeasure set to be given to another model since the mounts for them are just bolt on under the airframe next to the engines and they all share the same base airframe. Since the Egyptian and Algerian MiG-29M/M2 9.41SM/9.47SM use the larger BVP-32-50 compared to the rest of the 9.41/9.47 based airframes that use the smaller BVP-16-50
BVP-32-50 on a Egyptian MiG-29M
BVP-16-50 on a MiG-29KR
Indian navy MiG-29K with the BVP-16-50 countermeasure set removed
