If you open the “practical aerodynamics of the MiG-29 aircraft”, you can see that the 9-12 weighing 14,200 kg should accelerate from 660 to 1020 km/h (350-550 knots) at an altitude of 1 km in 10 seconds, but in the game it does this exercise in 12 seconds. (20% time difference)
Further, at the very beginning, on page 12, acceleration with 80% remaining fuel (fuel consumption 20%) is indicated, acceleration from 600 to 1100 km/h in 13.5 seconds, in the game it does this exercise in 16 seconds.
Has anyone done bug reports regarding apparent thrust missing in the MiG-29? was reading the thread and heard that it should have around 7.8 tf, with channel lose. Thats quite a bit of an improvement from the 6.8 tf we have as of now.
Keep the hopium high, we might be cooking something with the addition of the SNIPER.
Or give it the same weapons the LanceR has, as they share the same computing system (which actually was integrated into the Sniper, not planned like the radar)
Weapons like Magic 2, Python 3, and ofc the R-73, as the rails the LanceR had could operate both western and eastern weapons (theres also other stuff like CAS, but I don’t want to be too “greedy”)
there is non because those two vehicles are completly differnet cases
first of all you are wrong it had a radar and completed weapons testing, it didnt had an IRST
second off all the romanian goverment / MoD decided they want to keep the N019 to reduce cost and complexity of the project,
that didnt happen for the YAK-141 unless you have a document saying that they want to put the 141 into service without a radar and RWR
but lets use your “logic”
then we would have to remove the turret of the E-100 since it never had it in real life
and put it down in br to 2.0 since it only has the hull machine gun, see the problem?
and after removing the rwr of the 141 lets put it at 11.0 since the BRs above that it cant effectively operate without an RWR
but lets keep going since the Su-27 was planned to originally have a pesa, instead of the N001, should it also get it ingame?
Radar on Yak-141 was never installed on airframe, it was tested in facility.
Doesnt change the fact that ELTA Radar was suggested in the first place.
Yak-141 in real life never had Radar,RWR, IRST nor countermeasures, all of them was planned but never installed, if anything Yak-141 is one of the best example in case of ‘‘what if’’ vehicle.
You need to remove entire weapon,radar and defence system of Yak-141 before talking about E-100, even then it wouldnt change anything.
And where is that radar? Cause unlike Elta PESA radar that was planned for Su-27 wasnt build in time.
Your claims doesnt work on me buddy, especially in Yak-141 cases.
you are unable to understand that plans can change the 29sniper was planned to have the elta at the start of the project, but those plans changed into the project, so even IF the 29 sniper entered service it wouldnt have had the elta
and in the “what if” scenario of the Yak-141 entering service it would have had a radar and rwr
that radar had to be scratched bc all the specs of that radar were leaked to the US
The radar was never upgraded because the planes were already at their end of their life and in need of restauration, they would have to be shipped to Moscow for MiG to do maintenance on them. The project was deemed too expensive and on top of that the russian company did not want to collaborate because of the upgrade plans that would include western equipment (israeli made radar, etc). The Romanian MiG-29s required new engines which were only possible through Russia.
Keeping the MiG-29s in the Airforce was too costly already, improving them wouldn’t make sense either when the Lancer was already a finished product for the Airforce, while less capable the cheaper maintenance and upgrade cost were the big part of it
