What is this beautiful dumpster fire you’ve given us?

I know that this is a rather old post and I have the bad feeling that they already rejected it, but I would suggest using trim settings so you can sustain an optimal turn on a (almost) mechanical level

So no 29… always the flanker man…

Expected sadly, maybe they’ll do like the MiG-29G where they didn’t show anything, but at this point I’m just starting to cope lol, and starting to give up.

With a Su-30SM leaked to the internet, there’s something interesting from that video. There’s a cobra button, and if you look at MatAWG’s video, there’s a Russian that commenting, the description of the button is “AoA Limiter” which does that mean MiG-29 will be saved? I know this is a very hopium, but one of greatest drawback of current MiG-29 FM is the AoA right?

My guess this update also focus on QoL for Aircraft that have strange FM like MiG-29, maybeeeeeeee this update will also giving MiG-29 another life with its Cobra Button.

You could already achieve good aoa using full real controls

At this moment we need MiG-35…

Next plane has to be the mig29m or k. I doubt they’ll add Su-35 or sm2 soon

Yeah but it is not practical to use Full Rear Control unless you’re playing sim, because Air RB have different reflexes which are totally impossible to do in a full rear control unless you have sufficient controller to sustain that.

Yes… which you had to master and actively switch to mid combat/maneuver if you using anything but those control (aka for absolute most people who fly in ARB)

The “AOA limiter “OFF”” button is a nice middle ground to maintain mouse controls and open the true potential for jets like Flankers and Fulcrums

I feel like it’s probably all about TVC not really AoA despite it being written than way, otherwise F16/F15 will just get better than what they are xD

What i expect from the mig29 in the future is an overhaul for the SMT weaponry, unfortunately the only mig that’s going to be at the same level or better than the su-30sm would be the 35…

however, we can also expect that gaijin will start filling the gaps like the are doing now with the f18, i am sure we’ll get the mig29m, mig29S, K and so on, unfortunately it’ll never be the star anymore because they decided to rush content.

They don’t have to be the star

I mostly agree however there’s a part of me that wished for that at least for a few months lol, but they wasted the opportunity by adding the su27sm instead of the mig29m to counter the f15C.

Also I’m expecting a bit of decompression for top tier so i can fly the mig29g without worrying about rafales

A weaker MiG29M is not exactly a counter to the F-15C.

Maybe to the F-16C.

The M is better than the su27sm, It carries 8 r77s and It gets a better radar, plus fbw and much better engines

Unfortunatly the MiG-29 doesnt have a Cobra Button.

The MiG-29 essentially doesnt even really have a FCS irl, so no AOA/G limiter.
The stick is just a lot harder to pull.

That would be a massive advantage in sim controls if gaijin forced aircrafts to use dampening- cause well, the mig wouldnt use dampening but Manual control.
