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

It’s all about pilot training, the pilot is critical in measuring the aircraft. F-15 pilots were at the world’s top of training for complete air combat. Even a gentleman from the Bulgarian Air Force claims that it was only after they flew against F-15s that they realized their training deficiencies. And the F-15 pilots helped them adjust their training.
So, in the Bulgarian Air Force at the beginning there was a knowledge acquisition from USAF F-15 pilots, to improve the flying of the MiG 29, which is interesting.

Thanks for the info, at first I did find it a bit weird that block 30 was such a match for the MiG-29 while the block 50 seemed like nothing to Radev

Hello @skilz2kil wanted to ask How is the bug report going ?

The most maneuverable versions of the F-16, according to the pilots, were the Block 15 and 30.

This is about the training of the Bulgarian Air Force (there is open information)…
The Polish Air Force has always used the MiG-29 in an aggressive style…there are a lot of videos on the Internet…It was the Polish crews who trained the Israeli Air Force and they rented out the MiG-29…
MiG-29 Israel…

MiG-29M suggestion still didn’t get passed despite 320+ votes…

I don’t think that it changes something. Snail has their own plan of adding vehicles.

Don’t worry bro, back when we made the suggestion they accepted it super fast (less than a day if i’m not mistaken), IMO that means that they have some sort of interest in that plane. It’s coming to the game regardless if it’ll be in the next update or not.

Have faith, victory will be ours 💪

I asked an F-15 pilot, CAS is not turned off by the pilot.

I haven’t played War Thunder in like 2 months by now, I’ve watched some of the more important stuff but, does the MiG-29 have it’s realistic FM now?

Some say it is realistic but western aircraft are overperforming so because of that we have the feeling that it’s underperforming, others say that the mig is underperforming.

Ingame it’s still one of the worst planes compared to other 4th gen, even some 3rd gen like the MLD (in terms of flight performance).

I think that was just a poor attempt of modeling a rocket pod. Found a video of this model. Turns out its not even red lol

(Timed)

interesting

Yes that’s ok. When I was very active on the old forum, some suggestions that I made which had eventually become popular took a while to be passed. I don’t know their algorithm.

Yeah it’s definitely a weird way of handling suggestions, there are some that get passed immediately because they are about to be implemented in the next update, some are passed soon after they are made but then in game are nowhere to be seen (like su-15t recently and rafale-m a couple of months ago), while others take forever
