You intentionally left out the first portion of my quote @Ziggy1989
Looking forward to a source or in-game testing showing the MiG-29 is underperforming
it’s funny when the CBR rejected the report, saying that the MiG-29 will never be able to do the cobra maneuver.An ordinary MiG-29 makes no changes.Yes, it does not look like what you are used to seeing with a large cast in the angle of attack.But it looks like.The MiG-29M could already make a full-fledged cobra.
yes, and you can see how the pilot gives the handle forward, literally trying to put the plane into a dive, because he is being pulled up when roll

The MiG-29M is a large deviation from the normal MiG-29. It has larger intake ducts, revised with the ramps removed and replaced by screens. It’s airframe uses lighter composite alloys and engines with already 7% more thrust.
I’m not sure what kind of flight control system changes have come, but it appears to remain analogue. They may have further enhanced AoA, as later iterations successfully pushed the overshoot limit to ~70° from 60…
you don’t need to tell me about the changes in the MiG-29M, I know them better than you

So what is your point?
The devs were the ones who closed the report.

Guys another thing we should look into is characteristics of the 1:1 thrust to weight ratio. I do not believe that is fully modeled yet as well. This alone allows aircraft to do some amazing things not obtainable in the previous generation. It is also a requirement for supermaneuvrability as well and can immediately bring aircraft that are in the stall the immediate forward airspeed to come out and even further maneuver like the Mig29,
That the flight model still needs to be finalized

I think the same could be said of nearly every aircraft in the game. What in particular?
it has a very large pitch damping coefficient
It would help to elaborate or share a certain timestamp from the video
For a statically unstable aircraft, yes, of course
Well yes, but it’s clearly not FBW if the pilot has to make pitch corrections during the roll.
this is for the basic MiG-29

Hm… ok… remove the critically big nerf from mig29 and the players calm down

Excellent documentary! Never seen this one before. Thank you it already generate some more leads to looking to.
Did you hear that, he also touches on the complete aerodynamic integral design/configuration of the mig29 which make it one of the most maneuverable fighters in the world. Every portion of the aircraft assisted in its a lift ability just as I have said.
Yet the SMT loses a tremendous amount of lift even under far under 50% internal fuel when the thrust to weight should be well beyond what is needed to remain completely unbothered by upgrades.
Mikoyan would have never wasted the time with series II upgraded and left thrust out if it did. They tackled what the RD-33 needed, the fuel efficiency.
You are also right in the aircraft is extremely easy to fly and remain situationally focused on the fight. Especially if you have a helmet mounted sight and high off boresight capability.

The plane still has problems with engine thrust.As well as an excessive pitch damper

Did you guys notice how R73s ant R27ETs seem to be more susceptible to target friendlies and flare?
Additionally, did you guys notice that they gave the F16C its radar HMD capability? We make think we brought down the efficiency the aircraft (in this case the F16) in reports that alter the FM which is good. But GJ knows exactly how to minimize and offset changes to FM with little buffs not easily identified or a seem like a big deal on paper, but in game have great effects such as the HMD radar compatibility.
I just went jumped into the F-16C and immediately smashed with no warm up. All aim9Ms and sparrows flew true. @Giovanex05 & @DracoMindC . When did they add the radar HMD? What are your thoughts on it?
The HMD radar capability in the F16C helps tremendously now that I can just keep reacquiring targets over and over like the Mig29. Greatly increasing the Sparrow hit probability. Now imagine when they give it back its 19km acm lock range and amraam capability? The F16 has a lot of ways to continue to being buffed.

While the Mig29s are missing a key aspect in their flight performance which is the ability to pull high alpha maneuvers quickly in game to notch incoming radar missiles. Especially in the while performing maneuvers like the split S. The mig29 should be amazing (the best) at rolling over and split S to quickly change direction. It takes an insanely long time to turn the SMT around unless you are ridiculously slow.
The split S should be the Mig29s one of the 29s and Su27s ace in holes for quickly launching IR or active missiles and immediately changing direction as defense against High PRF radars of the west.
