On Su-27 radar you are a bit wrong. It was built and tested, but due to the level of technology at that time (around the world, not just USSR) PESA radar dish of that size, in terms of lock and scan range showed inferior results to the mechanical one. And then due to time constraints engineers just literally replaced PESA with mechanical Cassergain dish on a same exact radar, tested it and called it a day.
Later down the line USSR and Russia finished this project (technically) resulting in N011M (Base version of N011 is just N001 with Cassergain dish replaced with slotted planar dish and additional ATG channel, and N011M finally recieved PESA dish). And iirc, Su-27M programm tested N011M on one of the airframes, that was later used as a basis for the pre-production batch.
I noticed SMT got NCTR now, problem is that it is only available in STT. Is this realistic behavior?
Yes
Although I do agree that thrust would help the MiG tremendously, especially at higher altitudes, I don’t think it will change the inherent issue with its FM. The main reason it performs so poorly in relation to its competition is the bleed rate due to excessive fuselage & wing drag.
Comparing the wing & fuselage drag of the MiG with 2 larger aircraft (F-15C & Su-27), it comes off worse than both despite being 10-20% smaller in length & wingspan, along with having a wing area about 1/3 to 2/5 smaller.
there is an accepted bug report on that issue already
and from what i heard, the su-27 also has too much drag

we just gotta hope and wait I guess
I don’t want to sound pessimistic but, if it really be considered, it should get commeneted as “Will be implemented in future updates”.
I totally agree with that
My hope is that they buff the Mig29 flight model whenever they add a premium one to Russia
Something like the Mig-29S
Or they`ll just increase the thrust of the premium plane to be 7200kgf for no reason
Im actually going to jump off a bridge
Btw, that’s literally not true, at least in the files, its literally just a german mig 29. That’s just arcade thrust, not rb/sb thrust.
no it shows the arcade thrust
they have the same thrust ingame, just use wtrti to check the thrust in the test flight
but im not on AB settings, ive checked
It shows 7200 for all three gamemodes at least statcard wise (may be a bug then)
It’s a bug, it shows arcade thrust in other modes when in reality it is the same as the other mig 29s. its just a bug
where my numbers on my mig
also where are my R73s there still missing
Did mig 29 carry R13M1 as it would be a good upgrade over R60 flare eater
Not afaik, only R-73 and R60s
just thought yall would like this here
MiG-29s arent able to use the APU-13s, so I doubt they could mount R13s
Seems like there’s a good reason why the mig-29 doesn’t get its 7200 kgf.
Makes sense to me.
