It has NCTR apparently

F14a rwr doesn’t have iff
Spo15 has

That is one of the reasons the f14a rwr is bad

very nice, could u check in the cockpit to see if it displays the enemy contact ID somewhere too, either on hud or radar screen?

another thing i find useful about SPO-15 is that it shows vertical angle to a source as well. makes easier to find enemy that fired at you as well as making general space orientation a bit handier.

Seems like it doesn’t for now, unless I’m blind

ye i suppose thats true, idk i dont really mind not having iff with the upgrade in accuracy myself

Huh, wonder if addition of new MiG-29 means Snail gonna look into it flight performance (gotta put some honey for 12.7 (so prob 80$ pack) premium)

How does the Mig 29 perform at Mach 1.7 is it stable and maneuverable?

Imagine if the MiG-29 sniper gets NATO weaponry 😭😭😭. Like Magics or python or hell even derbys or AMRAAMS. It would be baller if it did tho

Wait, MiG-29 engine buff?

they changed the thrust values to 7200kgf? (from 6800kgf fully spaded)

It’s arcade values apparently

why does it get correct (or more correct) thrust values in Arcade than realistic

Thrust data that you thinking about is so called “stand thrust” when engines get placed into an aircraft, depending on design of air intakes there will be a thrust reduction and gaijin takes that into consideration.

Ok smarty pants

This is absolute bullshit, the mig-29As engines (RD-33) have around 500kgf channel loss resulting in a total of 7800kgf as stated in the flight manual

The true reason why we have 6800kgf ingame is because the engines in Warthunder run on 8350RPM instead of the true 10.000RPM
AKA - the 29 in warthunder are operating in Peacetime mode
