Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

With the F-15As at 12.7 with Aim-9M now, theres no reason why the 12.7 mig-29s shouldnt get the R-73.

Barely playing the SMT is sad but understandable.

It used to be really good when it came out, Especially at CAS, but now not so much.

Yeah I’ve been utterly hating spading the mig-29n.

So abysmal compared to the 13.3 flankers and gaijin makes you go through each r-27 upgrade incrementally which makes it so that you need 1 rank 4 mod before you finally get r77s, which is pure torture.

Out of curiosity I also checked if the mig-29n radar is overperforming in terms of gimbal limit but it seems to be correct

As Panther pointed out, those are R-13Ms. They were popular for export for a short period of time before the USSR cleared the R-60 for export as well

There are rumors it’s acting as the testbed for Zhuk-MAE, T-75’s planned radar.

all i need is a tech tree 9.12/9.13 with l-150 and r-77s🙏
mig-29n would be so much more playable with l-150

MiG-29SM with L-150 but you still have the doodoo N019

Or MiG-29SMT 9.18 with SPO-15T but atleast you have the goated Zhuk-m

@Balta779517-live have you read this report on the mig-29m?
it says that it has l-150

problem is that it also just straight up gives wrong information about n010 and other stuff so i dont think its too trust worthy

no i haven’t read it yet, how old is the report btw?

march 1997

its quite positive on the mig-29m, I think it overestimates it quite a bit.
It would probably count as a secondary source

29M recieved quite substantial airframe rework. I don’t think it overestimates it too much.

i mean it literally gets thing wrong on its radar like radar limits and such

check dms

Well, they could be wrong one radar, while get right info on the airframe.
