Still leaves the issues of high altitude spyplanes (and you cant cover whole country in SAM sites, gotta have something more flexible, like a proper interceptor)
Those high altitude spy planes couldn’t be intercepted by it, since they flew faster than it.
As for being a proper interceptor, it lacked the necessary range. That’s why, as I mentioned earlier, the Tu-128 remained in service.
It got enough range for it specific job of taking off and burn fast and high. Tu-128 hover yes, a long range, better suit for patrol duty, but it lacks in speed and ceiling in comparison to MiG
All in all, I think we should drop discussion of MiG-25 and how useful it was in the thread for MiG-29. There should be a suggestion thread for MiG-25 tho

For God’s sake, how many times do I have to repeat it — nobody was flying up there at high altitude. Even B-52 crews had been trained to fly at 150 meters since the 1960s.
Indeed
bunch of bug reports i made on the ILS-31 (the Su-27 and Mig-29 HUD) after finding an east geman document on it:

Well.
Now that the early F-16 with radar missiles just got AMRAAMs, I really hope we see some early Fox-3 MiG-29 variant soon.
Since now the F-16A’s beat out the MiG-29A’s in a dogfight, AND BVR…

The 9.12 or the 9.13?
9.13S
i dont think there is a 9.12S
Pretty sure there is, I remember reading that somewhere. But anyway I assume the 9.13S would be better
Edit: yep just checked, the 9.12S was 9.12 upgraded to 9.13S standard
There is what are are 9.12s, 9.12 upgraded to s standards, for example Malaysia got them and put them into service as the 29n

No signs of a new 29 in the leaklist, watch it be hidden in the Dev server as a premium unit.

What premium 29 would we even get? A 9.12 for Russia finally? I more so would love to have 9.15 (with l-150) in tt

Not really sure, but the USSR tech tree is one of the next candidates to get a rank 8 premium, so it would be kinda funny if we finally get a new MiG and it ends up being a 80$ premium.
