Is there any proof of the MiG-29SMT with the 8 hardpoints for missiles? Itd be really cool if it had em

“Super Fulcrum” ngl I do like the Sniper, but it doesn’t deserve that title, as main upgrades were electronics, importantly RWR, western weapon integration as well as newer HMD, with a proposed newer (but not attached) radar
Wdym by that?

I think they meant that theyll make it a premium/squadron vehicle instead of making it a tech tree vehicle

Mig-29Smt has only 6 hardpoints
the Mig-29K has 8 hardpoints or the mig-35 as well
Any mig 29 based off the mig-29m model will get 8 hardpoints

… isnt that just a MiG-29M 9.15 or 9.61?
Super fulcrum does in fact make 0 sense
The Super fulcrum is the unoffical nickname of the Foxtrot (MiG-35)
Fulcrums apparently are not forgotten!
Maybe there is a chance that russia finally gets a new fulcrum too.
in WT its unfortunatly such a underrepresented jet, despite being one of the most manufactured 4th gen fighters in the world

On the first post when i looked over the SMT info they said 8 hardpoints for missiles… so i was wondering if it was actually true.
Considering that Italy currently has 0 squadron aircrafs and Romanian stuff mostly goes there… There is a chance. But it’s gonna be what, 9-12A with NATO RWR and maybe Lima Sidewinders? If Romania ever purchased those, Wikipedia says 9M/X are in service.
It could get the magic 2 iirc
Well, considering Germany has 9J on a lot of the aircrafts for “balance purposes”, giving it Magic 2 is not something out of the ordinary. Although it will just make it a different flavour of MiG-29G
Well that’s only for IR missiles, it would still be able to use the r73 and is also able of using the Amraam
I don’t think there is a single confirmed case of AMRAAM being fired from a MiG-29. And Sniper never recieved “new radar” as stated in the sources. So it will probably be limited to regular R-27 kit
Well I don’t mind if it gets it or not, it will probably be a premium or event vehicle anyways.
So it would be unlikely for it to receive Fox-3s as a 4th gen
I mean, the Flanker FM was fixed when the Su-33 was introduced, I really wish they would fix the MiG-29 FM too if they would introduce MiG-29 Sniper.

Ah yea. Hopefully. There’s so many reports of MiG-29 testing from other countries with positive results and whatnot, yet still is lackluster ingame

Time for some love for the good old 29

Not really it is missing a lot of lift at lower speeds, this becomes clear if you try to replicate an airshow of the su30, even with like 5mins of fuel

Well ofc, it’s still missing a lot of lift at low speed, but hey, it’s better than nothing, while MiG-29 still stay pretty much the same as they nerfed it last time.
