Depends on version but yes. In version UB it can carry 6x R-73 and in version UBM it have expanded armament on the R-27T/ET. Both version still have IRST.
iz. 23-19 is another option. But practically it would not be much different from the current iz. 23-18 except for the R-73. 23P would be more different and there would be no risk that it would grow in BR at the moment the radar was fixed as its practically MLA without air-ground weaponry (except Kh-23M).
MiG-23-98 with R-27 and R-73
And R-77, but it might catapult it too high (still, would be fun to annoy 4th gens with upbeat 3rd)
I don’t know, Su-37 used the Al-37FU
Internal or pod cannon ?
Without R-27R & R-27T ?
None R-27R & R-27ER only ?
I suppose might be MiG-29 (9-12) and on group with MiG-29 (9-13). light airframe like MiG-29 9-12A & 9-12B but early service limit WVR R-60M Air-to-Air Missile
Retain Klimov RD-33 and N019 Rubin radar (MiG-29 9-13)
With the addition of the PKVP-23s, as the total number of chaff/flares was brought up to 72
Sapfir-23P / RP-23P radar and R-23R/R-23T
But re retrofitted Sapfir RP-23MLA radar and R-24R/T air-to-air missiles, no IRST and a HUD display (MiG-23Bis)
The PVO operate MiG-23P & MiG-23Bis did in fact arm them with Kh-23 air-to-ground missiles only
MiG-23P might researchable tree on MiG-23 group or the first premium golden eagle ?
The first variant with R-77 for soviet/russia tech tree
But pre R-73M IR Air-to-Air Missile service ? 🤔
Internal cannon.
Only R-27T/ET. No SARH variant as it doesnt have radar.
Countermeasures are questionable. It doesnt have them irl but thats not a big deal as Gaijin add flares based on posibility to mount them.
For the MiG-29UBM only ?
Both MiG-29UB & MiG-29UBM ?
Both have internal cannon and only UBM have R-27T/ET.
But MiG-29UB limited R-60M & R-73 WVR Air-to-Air missile ?
Yes.
Bug report:
Russian guided bombs incorrect max release speed
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/GXDSC2gueyO0
Given that the minimum release speed is also given, I assume the 1100 kph figure is IAS/EAS.
This would translate to decreased Mach number on the deck but increased Mach number at higher altitudes.
removing the ER’s and giving the r73’s has been leading idea for most people to fix the feel of the 29A’s since pretty much the get go. Personally, i also prefer the separation of the regular 9.12’s with r60’s at a step lower. Then u would have the 29G for germany with archers and 9.13 for russia, potentially also adding a 9.12 into the RU TT as well would be nice for completeness. Unfortunately, gaijin has so far been holding on to their idea of 29 balance with the 2x ER’s and 4x utterly useless r60’s at 12.7 - but hopefully we can see this changed sooner rather than later.
im fully expecting to see an event and maybe even a premium mig come by the end of the year - my moneys on a 29S and 29M as candidates for those, then probs 29K in TT maybe also another M there too. Could even go so far as seeing the 35 come since we already have ‘4.5’ gen aircraft now, though i could absolutely imagine gaijin wanting to milk that one a bit longer
Su-37 would have been perfect for this update if we couldn’t get a MiG-29, it’s also and airframe from the same timeframe of the current top dogs.
But people in the flanker thread all wanted the Su-30SM for some reason…I tried to say many times that it would just be a bus flight performance wise and that the better radar compared to the 90s one is useless with current missiles in war thunder (when a radar reaches the F-16C’s level it’s currently not a bottleneck anymore 99.9% of the time).
Without the R-77-1, especially after the radar fix, there would be NO reason to use instead of the Su-27SM, even in BVR once radar and missiles are of a certain tier flight performance is king.
Next update they’ll ask for the sm2
People are already asking for it. Because 30SM is so mid
R-73M never entered Russian service, it died in the 90s like many things did.
it should go R-73 → R-74M → R-74M2 IR AAM wise for Russia.
also since I’m here, got something from my archive abt MiG-29SE:
If its flight performance they want mig29m would be a better Idea… Afaik su30sm2 Will have a good climb rate but it’ll perform kinda mid in bfm
