There is no guarantee that Mig29 will win the one circle, F-16 can easily evade Mig29’s agressive one circle move.
You’re the one who claimed 2 circle will get killed you in real life, now you’re saying this is pointless? Lmao.
Indeed F-16 performs better than in real life, but so does other planes as well.
It seems whenever counter argument doesnt suit you you just trying to change the subject.
Anyway i already spent enough time with you, you can keep complain about F-16 all you want but F-16 will always be better than MiG-29 in both game and real life.
In terms of the airframe itself i disagree, i think they are equal, however yeah in terms of avionics/radars the mig unfortunately fell behind due to the fall of ussr. If instead of the mig29a it was the M fighting against the f16 the results would be closer…
Decompression would pretty much “fix” their usefulness, put rafales and efts at 14.7, f15C and other Fox 3 carriers at 14.0-14.3, put su-27 at 13.3 and bingo you have a reason to play with the mig29.
When did I say that 2 circle doesnt matter?
I really gotta hold back to not call you dumb, please just read again what I wrote.
so you answered my question correctly, the F16 is overperforming and presenting a wrong picture to the players of what the standart in flight performance should be.
I think you misread - with giving the MiGs the ER I mean only to the MiG-29Ms in upcoming BRs at 14.0-14.3
Like I said - the R27EA should only be introduced as a counterpart to the Aim-120C5 - which the Soviets/Russia doesnt have a counter against anyways
The game will eventually progress to these types of missles - and if it goes that far it would be better if we saw a balanced experience with comparable missiles instead of Aim-120C5s facing R77 (the Aim-120C5s effective range is almost 50% bigger than the current Amraams - which already outrange the R77)
The R27EA was an idea for the future - in the current state of the game it would be quite OP, dont you think?
The R27EA was the intended weaponry for the MiG-29M (9.15)- similiar to the Yak-141 project it got cancelled tho and only a few got build and equipped (but there where still some)
So it would theoretically be Premium/Squadron/Event material - btu considering how the YAK-141 got added to the techtree too it might be possible to see the 9.15M in the TT - in which case the R27EA would be quite a unique addition as it is the most far ranging +30G Fox-3 that russia ever had.
We could also see it as a counterpart to the Aim-120D and Meteor, but considering those have far more advanced guidance and more range it would be pretty unfair.
The Aim-120C5 on the other hand has only slightly less range (around 10km in max range and 5km in effective) but slightly more advanced tracking - so a perfect tradeoff!
There’s no reason for the mig29g with its 2 x r27ers+4 r73s to stay at the same br as the flanker which has an absurd 6 x 27er + 2 r73s loadout and MUCH better fuel efficiency, i won’t even mention the western jets with their crappy sparrows and downtiers on which you face freaking PHANTOMS lol
The R-77-1 is already a counterpart to the AIM-120C-5, it really isn’t that crazy. The R-27EA isn’t necessary at all imo. There are of course other options like R-37M or even R-77M.
Not in War Thunder, no. They haven’t modeled it accurately enough to say this. The R-27EA could be added today and it wouldn’t be overpowered, just strong.
Ik, that’s why imo su-27 should only go to 13.3 IF they move the fancy stuff up (efts, rafales, strike eagle etc), ideally if we got something like 15.0-15.7 max top tier br it could get an even higher BR so other early 4th gen could also get a br raise to improve conditions for phantoms/mig23s/miragef1, but that’s just fantasy unfortunately.
