Would the mig-29m (156) get the same irst as the mig-29smt
afaik the SMT uses the OLS-29M in the Zhuk-10M assembly
Im gonna assume you mean a MiG-29 9.15M?
Those use the OLS-M on the Zhuk-10 assembly, wich is the same IRST as on the 29K and YAK-141
If you mean the MiG-29 9.61M they use the OLS-UE with the Zhuk-10AE or the standart PESA models
Thats the same as on the MiG-35s.
The SMT in Warthunder might spark a lot of confusion as Gaijin gave the MiG-29SMT the Zhuk-10 Assembly instead of the Zhuk-10M
I dont know why this decision was made - as only SMT prototypes were equipped with the older radars/irsts.
Coming back to the question:
The SMT has a better IRST/Radar than the MiG-29 9.15M - but a MUCH worse than the MiG-29 9.61M

Yeah i mean 9-15 or whatever the mig29m prototype 156 was. So its gonna have the garbage ±30 degrees azimuth instead of the nice 90 on the smt… unfortunate
Essentially a copy paste YAK-141 IRST
Im not shure if its modelled correctly but it should be still a lot superior to the 29As IRST
Also yeah russian naming schemes arent really smart lol.
The MiG-29 9.15 is the “MiG-29S” but the MiG-29 9.15M is the "MiG-29M)
(the 29 9.61M is the “MiG-29M.2” if youve read that before - the “MiG-29M2” is the two seater version of the MiG-29 9.15M)
I think you´re referring to the MiG-29 9.15M “156” wich was the first of its kind - the first MiG-29M
I thought the MiG-29M 9.15’s N010 Zhuk had +/- 90 degrees for the azimuth, like the SMT’s radar
I was talking about irst, not the radar. radar of both should be essentially the same, also its ±85 degrees.
Spoiler
Ohhh ty for the clarification:D
Aside the obvious lack thereof thrust, there is also lack of acceleration which has been reported and subsequently flown under the radar for some time.

same thing happens on F14 im pretty sure i just cant find numbers for it
yeah found them this is tomcat in game it seems
“I did calculations the Channel loss is 25.3% 3,470 KGF is loss in game right now i dont think Channel loss is that high since F14 engine inlet is a straight shot”
i think its a shadow nerf or something they do to planes
As ive already said:
The uneven mixing of air would only happen when the “gills” (upper intakes) are opens - wich only happens on Ground or at high AOA.
Meanwhile the F14s uper intake openings are always open wich would explain why it has this phenomena modelled.
the MiG-29s shouldnt have this presn

intakes move for better flow at certain speeds
the pre-compression through the intake doors only accours at speeds exceeding Mach 1
And as you mightve noticed - thats for engine effeciency and wont introduce ineffeciencies.
(or differential airflow for that matter - the topic this is about)
25% seems excessive
Look at the right engine then tell me again.
What about the right engine? you mean in the engine in which less than 4 dozen units exist, specifically dedicated towards pre-serie testing of the aircraft before AL-51F-1 reaches the frame?

And how many su-57 does have new engines with new nozzle design?
it definitly does and im not saying that it doesnt.
But im arguing my case for the MiG-29 wich I have solid proof for.
The F14 might have underperforming thrust too, who knows.
