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

Weak plane that loses all speed in 180* turn, and with worse maneuverability than F-16, according to gaijin.

Gaijin has his own physics. And so this is the 9-47C land version of the MiG-29KUB

And what a coincidence! The gaijin special physics say all russian aircraft must fall from sky after 1 turn, and all american jets must be rockets that never lose speed!!



One engine?


two engine

İt looked like 1 to me my bad. İ thought maybe it’s variant with 1 big engine

With AESA…

İt will not change a thing. When mig-29 with AESA is added, American aircraft with AESA will also be added. (As it should be done for balance)

But the American one will not lose speed, will turn better, will have missiles with not broken drag, faster acceleration.

I feel sad everytime I see a picture of the MiG-29

Yeah honestly with the decompressed BRs and how the Mig 29 will be 0.3br away from the F-16s, F15A, and the Gripen A. It would be ideal to give it R-73s to make it competitive. Though I wonder if removing the R27E missiles will allow it to stay at 12.7br?

Idk if limiting the R-73s to 4x would be a good idea considering its new BR placement would make it right below the F16 block 10, the F15A, and the Gripen A.

Honestly, given how insane the R-73 is at close range, a MiG-29A without the R-27E would not have the same BR as an F-16A Block 10.

To makes equal with MiG-29 with R73, they could give the AIM-9M to Block 10 as well, but if they did that they would definitely move to 12.3, the same BR as the Belgian F-16A Block 15.

In today’s update the french f16 ended up in 13.3 instead of 13.0, they prob did a mistake when making the tables. One thing that makes me sad is that probably they feel that these changes were enough for now, so they won’t touch these 4th gen for a while.

I honestly Can’t comprehend their logic when giving early vipers 13.0 Br and 12.7 for the fulcrums, like ok the mig29 sucks FM wise but everyone knows that for the META, bvr ordinance is much more relevant, even more now that multipath got nerfed. Why can’t they remove the r27er from the fulcrum and give it r73s? Why the fk they love that missile so much?

Gonna use my German Mig-29G with R-73 and 27ER now at 13.0 It’s also a joke how the best aicraft before this patch (gripen A) is only 13.0 now lmao.

It’s funny how the best MIG-29 is yet again german. With missiles it never had IRL. The R-27ER/ET.

The MIG-29G literally stomps everything with how often it gets downtiers.

The SMT is still a joke

For the meta I consider the smt better because of its radar, but tbh idc about the meta, i just want all 29s to bleed less energy…
