Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

That’s right, that’s exactly what I said. Not misconstrued at all.

If you take a look at the changes as seen in my datamine. You’ll see they only changed what they said they’d change in response to the aircraft’s bug reports, nothing else.

No, I don’t think so. Check the version in the top right.

2.31.1.27

I just got an update for WT less than an hour ago so its possible. I’m not sure though.

That’s the update, should have the improvements that appeared in the datamine. RD-33 series 3 rename hasn’t come yet afaik though.

I’m not wrong, and changes that aren’t in the datamine affect a much wider range of things than a specific vehicle. If there were changes to the MiG-29 specifically, we’d have seen them.

Also no, I’ve not been playing the game since I was 10. The game wasn’t even out at that point. Let’s avoid this personal discourse, it’s not the place for it. Stay civil.

I’m still waiting on the source for SMT overperforming or a simple example of the aforementioned disparity.

Says the one who use our tools/repo to datamine

idk why you’re saying it’s getting a “new engine”

it’s just getting a consumption value tweaked slightly

This isn’t the case.

We have all of the full datamines going back years before the MiG-29 came to the game on GitHub.

Okay, so share why you think so? Provide some semblance of proof to go off of.

We don’t report engines name change for this exact reason, it’s worthless and doesn’t actually mean anything.

Saying that the engine name of a plane changed from X to Y while actual changes to the engines values is just missleading

It’s getting the RD-33 Series 3, which itself is just more fuel efficient as far as game stuff goes. I know this because the fuel consumption is being tweaked in the datamine and because tech mods have informed me it has already been actioned when I asked if it was already reported.

We may not see all of these changes instantly, but we can see some things are already modified.

It literally is the case

Also it would be nice if you could stop taking our works as yours

That’s literally just a name, it could never be changed, or it could but the value also could never change

It’s not because X plane has the engine NAME changed from A to B that the actual engine changed even the slightest

I’m just forwarding what I know, I’m not the one who reported it. The name should change as well as the values, not sure if the current values are the final change but I can inquire about it.

You shared with me the tool and knowledge of how to do the datamining. I appreciate it, but it’s not like the file data is yours.

Actual proof that it’s performing worse than it should would absolutely convince me, but I’m not asking you to convince me. I’m just asking you to prove your point. You can’t because you don’t have one.

The name can stay all they want, what matters is what is actually changed in terms of the important things like fuel efficiency and thrust etc. Names in the game is essentially just a guidance not really a reflection of what it actually is.

Regardless, it’s something easily reported and fixed. There’s no harm in it.

Stop fighting. fuel consumption of SMT has been changed because engine has changed to RD-33 series 3.

So MiG-29SMT (9-17), MiG-29SMT (9-18) & MiG-29SMT (9-19) fitted Tumansky RD-33 series 3 engine

I wonder Tumansky RD-33 series 3 better Tumansky RD-33 series 2 ? 🤔

sustained rates for the lighter 29s and the f16s seems to be much closer now

now i just need the mig29m :)

Yeah I need MiG-29M (9-15) too but guess gaijin might consider 2 MiG-29 at 12.7 BR between MiG-29 9-13 & MiG-29SMT (9-19) in rank VIII before MiG-29M (9-15), MiG-29KR (9-14) & MiG-29M2 (9-67) such as MiG-29S (9-13S) and MiG-29SM (9-13SM) or MiG-29SMT (9-17)

i’d accept any variant that is lighter like the 9.13 and that can carry archers considering that the 9.13 itself won’t get these missiles
