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

Please refer to the following.

Spoiler

You are well within your right to believe GJ made a mistake. You are also well within your right to believe it is an oversight.

However, GJ did not chose or refuse to model the FLCS. They explained in detail multiple times the challenges they currently face in which you refuse to acknowledge nor understand.

GJ has zero obligation to explain themselves, especially to you, but did so anyway as it is the right thing to do.

All models overperform to some degree & underperform in others. Game efficiency trumps all. You know nothing. The F-16 was also limited in ways to offset this “overperformance” you constantly complain nonstop about, how your report was not accepted therefore you attempt paint the developer in an unjustified negative light.

All you can do is hyperfocus & fixate on the obvious because at the end of the day, you neither play any of the aircraft you talk about nor understand how game efficiency & balance is the number one aspect considered in WT models before anything.

Hope this information helps.

My mistake & apologies. I meant to say a realistic & historically needed buff :)

The Zhuk is a very capable & advanced radar produced by the RuF.

The R-77s are a little lacking at moment, I agree. But keep faith, the update just dropped & developers are making their rounds & implementing QoL fixes.

(I cannot speak for the Darter, nor the Derby. I know nothing of their performances other than I was under the impression that they are pretty good.)

Spoiler

BTW The N001VP or known as N001VEP (E for export) is also capable of better performance & is not a copy paste N001 Mech. I hope the Su-27SM is updated soon because I got to say, the copy paste N019 Rubin (still shows up as Mig-29 on RWR, the Mech has a different transmitter) performance is not cutting it against even the smallest radars of NATO at top tier.

Such as?

I’ve already addressed the rest of your rant, now you’re repeating yourself (again). I think you’ve drug this far enough off topic as-is anyway.

None of your business. Just play the game. This is the Mig-29 topic. This is not the F-16 cope center.

I already told you, instead of blaming staff that the F-16 is a mistake & oversight (it’s absolutely not). What you can do is work to improve the Mig-29 & its variants to cover this gap. Or not, it’s totally up to you.

Btw your F-16 games are looking for a little light… many have more games in just one variant than you do in your entire fleet of F-16’s combined. You should try to actually play one of these days & maybe you can see that it’s not so overpowered as you say every update since its Apex Predator’s release.

Lastly, you are under no obligation to actually play the vehicles you purchase (however odd that may be). It would help out a little bit in understanding why models perform the way they do according to game efficiency.

I already have been working to improve the MiG-29. You have not. You’ve done nothing but complain and even then the basis from your complaints is literally just your opinion. You hopped on the bandwagon.

You’ve not once referenced the flight manual or any relevant sources. You just claim nonsense about a 90° AoA cobra and ironically - the AoA is already adjusted correctly. The issues lie in specific excess power & some other parameters.

I have, and still do play all of the top tier fighters. You learned how to play top tier from me. Stop asking for attention.

You’re literally telling someone with 16,000 hours to play the game more to develop an understanding of it… it’s comedy.

You can do it with FbW too. Especially the F-16 has a “nice” accident history.

On your part, yes it is. I think this conversation was over before it started.

@wasa850 I’ll probably DM you next week regarding the MiG-29 or F-16 if you’ve got time

That is why I translated this for you. Well not you in particular but yeah.

Hope this information helps.

Are MiG 29’s pylons compatible with Chinese unguided bombs?

Very unlikely

Depend, if you wonder for conventional bomb, then basicly the same, hardpoint drop mechanism is not so hard to modify.
But with the Chinese, they crack J-11 firmware to arm with PL-x series so if they want, they can.

Sure, I have two nice articles on F-16 departures

The monitor on the (non-SMT) Migs is locked to copying the HUD now?

Yeah I noticed this, not sure if it’s a bug or intentional

@MiG_23M

Apperently extra countermeasures on SMT has been changed from Larger Caliber to normal one.

Is this true or just a statcard bug?

50mm

I know its 50MM irl which should be Large Caliber in game.

Either its a statcard bug or flares did get nerfed.

Report it

I need make sure if its just a statcard bug or real one, otherwise report will not be accepted.

Since i cant access to the game files someone needs to confirm it for me.

Not a bug. They updated the HUD for SIM players, which now works fully for using the radar.

So the screen is now its historical HUD repeater.
