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.
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.
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.
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)
The MiG-29M is not exactly a light fighter-the normal take-off weight is 300 kg less than that of the 9-19 …
If you need a light fighter for aerial combat, then this is the MiG-29SD (9-12 SD)…Slovakia\Serbia\Syria…
Just tested the MiG-29 9-12… LOW SPEED RATE IS FINALLY FIXED. If we must be super precise it is VERY SLIGHTLY over performing now (got 0.05 deg/sec more while gaining 10 meters of altitude at constant speed), but that is well whit in error margin.
F-16 also seems to be rating how it should at slower speed, which ranges from equal to max 1 deg/sec better than the MiG-29. Also F-16A block 10 seems to have stopped pulling 15Gs with mouse aim which was ridiculous.
Now that it got his rate fixed the F-16 imho needs a better instructor more than the MiG-29, as it still pulling 23 degrees AoA but unlike before can’t keep going over 430kph doing so (it is sitting at 380kph now at sea level and min fuel). Just like with the MiG-29 a lower AoA value would help it keep his energy a little better.
Thanks to everyone that helped me with the reports and testing!
Yeah but it has More AOA, more powerful engines with less low speed thrust loss as it has larger intakes and fly by wire controls. It is simply better in everything
