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

Arent harms much heavier? Max takeoff for Russian Mig29k is listed as 4500kg and 5500kg for indian (maybe due to their carriers being different)

nah you just need to pay them to put 2 on the outermost pylons

PPL would say inner pylons are only for HARM missiles xddd… next thing would be if someone figures out how to do unversal pylons and makes Su25 carry 10 R73 or that one useless pylon on Su30MK*

And imo outer most pylons must be on some kind of ‘overload’ mode anyway due to extra stress from drag leverage

No, Su-27SM completely shits on sufa
it’s not even a question lmfao.

Su-27SM is better than most if not all 14.0 aircraft even
at least when put head-to-head

There’s like 3 14.0 aircrafts in the game (if we count all late C hornets as a single one). And while SM most likely walks over Hornet, I don’t think that it’s as one-dimensional when it comes to Mirage or F-15E.

Outside of Mirage 2K I’d agree with that, but this is not that great of a comparison. Su-27SM, with its relatively poor radar, the worst RWR coverage of any digital RWR and short range Fox-3 missiles has steeper learning curve than something like F-15. Yes it has R-27ER to cover long range, but using Fox-1 effectively in a Fox-3 zone is an acquired skill, not a given.
With that in mind I can’t simply say that Su-27SM is the best aircraft in the bracket.

I have only tested this on the MiG-29M, as I do not have the MiG-29KR.

When the radar is set to SRC SEA and I switch to HMD PD to acquire an air target, radar guided missiles such as Fox-3 and Fox-1 cannot be launched, the aircraft does not enter the missile employment state.
Then, switching to normal SRC PD or another radar search mode restores missile launch capability.

Same for KR, but you don’t need to drop the lock while switching the mode, just pressing mode switch button works just fine

Yeah, but it should still be fixed. Switching from SRC SEA to HMD PD should not disable the use of radar guided missiles

i agree, this code is quite spaghett

no, best flanker is j-11b
sufa is best bvr jet at 13.7


Ever so slightly. But after PL-12 got nerfed R-77 is pretty much the king of 13.3-13.7 bracket so out of Flankers i’d still say that Su-27SM is on top here


another dev update, 29K texture looks almost finished

cockpit textures are also fully done

Mig29K lacking KH-59 ? While it is essentially useless you might argue that adding it would be the only feasible ‘buff’

Sorry, i think you meant 9.31 Premium pre order bonus

Also this abomination is ‘technically’ could be ‘feasible’

i have a feeling that MiG-29K will be in roblox flavour on the release

Where does it store its fuel? 9-12 looks like a tanker compared to this


i tink they also made engines even more smokeless

barely any smoke on full afterburner

X-ray right now is very barebones i think, and doesn’t represent correct fuel tank placement and size.
