Unless they add something like the MiG-29M, unless something strange happens, this is the last day a MiG-29 is the strongest aircraft at top tier

don’t worry brother, we’ll get the 9.15

I don’t know… I think if they just gave it some Alpha in level flight to dynamic decelerate/cobra it will be fine.
Did you get the chance to play it on the Dev server? Not that they did anything to it. But I was smashing pretty hard in it still. Granted, not that many people had spaded and aced Su27s etc.
But the SMT still has that magical ability to retain speed over the others. I think that’s were it may shine now.
People are dumping all their energy in the new fighters very easy as they are not used to the extra alpha.
It is still very competitive, as it still has a great loadout and is still the fastest and best zoomclimbing (last one on par with the F-15) aircraft in the game, but it is definitely not the top dog anymore.
Still working (with the little free time) on making a good instructor rework suggestions, since if the F-15 drops as it is on the dev server it is another aircraft getting screwed by it (in general all stable aircraft will get screwed more), and the whole thing might get more support now that a far more popular aircraft would be helped by it as well.

Yeah I am still wishing upon a star that the instructor will be modified for it when update goes live.
But also, even without the instructor you still cannot cobra correctly in full real (still tries to climb)
They are most definitely going to add the M and K (especially since they want to get carrier spawns in the new maps/F-18s to come)
ARB rework coming with the ARH patch
Probably dropping in the crates this patch. Showing it off early.

I hope the SMT eventually gets a targeting pod to bring its multirole capability in line with the likes of the F-16C, Gripen, and Mirage
It already has a decent loadout and a great complement of RWR and flares, while being one of the least maneuverable out of its 12.3 peers, so I don’t think it’s too much to ask for to bring its CAS potential comparable to other 12.3 multiroles

The last day when MIG-29 was strongest was the day before F-16C got introduced, it is not ending today, it was already over.
FASTECT AND BEST ZOOMCLIMBING? F-16C exists hello
MiG-29G is better than F-16C, and all MiG-29As are almost 100kph faster than the F-16C and climb better than it.
You guys are being so emo right now. Let’s wait just a couple more hours find out the FM is the same and then we can be emo af.
Nothing will change , even tho mods said it will be fixed 1 month ago they haven’t even added the tiny extra thrust of the Series 3 engine on SMT 🤡. They don’t care about the MİG

But series 2 lost 10kgs

Didn’t happen , I have both G and SMT spaded and checked both just 30 min ago , series 2 still has more thrust. Don’t know where you got the wrong info from.
10kgs is a smaller difference then the Gripen A and C
So, apparently they fucked up again and the f15 got gigabuffed in terms of performance, also the su27 now bleeds a lot of energy
