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

Some kind of modified (or updated) version of the P-50T bomb, maybe the Chinese version…

Its great that you are doing this post, Mig 29 is a terrific aircraft, when it comes to maneuverability.
If you were to compare the Mig29M and the SMT which one would you say is better in arial combat?

Dude not many people have controls like that, playing the mig 29 the way you do requires an entire array of equipment costing thousand of dollars. It looks great and I know DCS has a more realistic game play but how many of us can afford and have the time to play like this.

They should have added the 29M to the game instead of the SMT, I have the SMT haven’t played in in two weeks but at the time if found the SMT underperforming against the AIM-120 launchers new F-15s and F-16s.

MiG-29M and is not even close. Only way SMT could be better is when R-74 and later R-77 models get added.

How do you find playing air rb in Warthunder difficult or easy? Having to get use to multipathing and notching as well as the 3rd person view looking backwards while flying forwards to try and dodge missiles is quite challenging and after 3 games a bit tiring.

1500 kg fuel with full weapons racks and 2 missiles for 13015 kg.

Is the Mig-29SMT ever going to get its targeting pod? That report has been acknowledged and sitting in limbo forever now.

I just want an top tier multirole equivalent at this point, not some weird Sukhoi strike aircraft sidegrade

ikr…gaijin just lets the report rot (imo) cause they legitimately have an agenda against giving RU their optical pods

27EP are imbalanced or what? Missiles completely ignore 3-9 and dipoles, even if you throw buckets out of the cockpit. How so???
And I noticed the missile launch on the SPO and I start maneuvering on time and spam dipoles, but still the missile is more effective than 120!

Can you provide video examples of this

Tried flying the OG 9.13 after a year without touching it, not terrible but far from good. In the current state of top tier there’s no reason to not give it r73s.

Like cmon you have a 4x r60m +2 r27er loadout at 12.7 then 0.3 more you get the su27 with 4 r73s + 6 r27er, this is a significant leap for such a small br difference, also the “r73s are op” argument that gaijin used 2 years ago doesn’t have the same applicability nowadays.

What is the current Oswald number for the MiG-29 in game?
Also where is this source from?

I could be wrong but i think the ingame oswald coefficient isn’t the same parameter as the one described in the manuals

In-game oswald parameter apparently doesn’t coincide directly with real world oswald calculations and the two cannot be compared.

Where is this sheets document from?

MiG-29SMT in game might have a wrong weight: empty weight in game is 11600kg, but multiple sources list 11600kg as the weight of the 9-17 SMT, which has a FAR bigger spine fuel tank. MiG-29SMT Multipurpose fighter - RedStar.
