Only the designers know the wings, but it’s not the wing that breaks,The tail breaks

Now he going to lecture you on how the game and business should be ran.
biplanes lol.
not related to the 29, but i had to post it here cause im happy asf, now im gonna follow the su27 thread lmao

If you can’t, some weirdos are going to blame in on the flight controls lol and say it performing exactly as it is supposed to irl.
I am worried about its thrust to weight. Being very low compared to the the Fulcrum and much much heavier. We also have that lovely instructor. But seeing as multiple tech mods and head honchos like @_David_Bowie & others are keeping an eye on the Mig29 closely. I believe they will address the supermaneuverable question very soon, with or without community reports.
But either way we should be happy. The F-15 is going to dominate the meta being extremely fast. They are probably going to give its same Aim7Fs and nerf the radar like the Tomcat because it’s such a speed demon and highly agile fighter in high Mach flight. Only the Mig29K and F-15 have dog tooth elevators.
But if the Flanker comes in well modelled. Everything will fall into place. Even the Fulcrum. There is nothing to worry about and both jets will come in as they are capable.

as far as i know, it should be the best fighter at slow speeds and 1c just loosing to delta wings like mirage2000, gripen, but anyway, im happy and i hope gaijin doesnt mess up with the fm, i will be in the su27 thread, i dont want ppl mad at me for saying stuff not related to the 29 lol

Bruh bruh, that is very true.
but slow speeds do not win Air RB matches. The only thing I can hope on is that they give the Flanker its full BVR capability. That means non nerfed radar.
But that means they will have to buff the F-14’s AWG9 and model the Aim54s…
See you in that thread! I do not believe we should give up on this model as the Fulcrum is directly related to the Flanker in design philosophy and pattern. Just different roles.
R-77 when

While absolutely happy to see all this new jets,I hope Gaijin won’t just spam F-15 and especially Su-27 variants from now on, completely forgetting other MiG-29 and F-16 versions since people will hype the other 2 jets.

The Su27 is doing a perfect cobra in the trailer. I am very certain it will be able to perform WITH the instructor.
The instructor will be tweaked and so will applicable models such as the Fulcrum. I am not even worried about it anymore. GJ knows wtf they are doing.

Not gonna lie, having Troy Baker as a VA and mixing with Ace Combat style, this trailer is the best i’ve seen so far.
F-15 vs Su-27 rivalry gave me chill to my spine.

One thing that Gaijin does best is the trailer.
They never dissapoints thats for sure.

It also has the fully capable still caged up Tomcat to worry about too.
I actually place those fighters better against each other as the F15A does not have the long range BVR capability nor the same combat radius as the Flanker.
Neither does the F-15A have the same ability to monitor, project power and literally shut down airspace for hundreds of miles anywhere close to the F-14.
The flanker is going to need the higher thrust to weight Fulcrum and its FULL range of alpha in all of its flight regimes and envelope to assist if we are ever going to see an end to purely mixed battles.
@I_Phobos_I you are correct! We must monitor these aircraft upon release to make sure those specific technologies are applied correctly and not just visually.
Which reminds me… Leading edge extensions…
You mean this proof you messaged me below?
My apologies, your interpretation is a 100% incorrect. FALSE.
Once again you have demonstrated a highly questionable reading comprehension and provided further evidence that you have no business ever touching the flight models of War Thunder. A highly complex, specialized hobby to take on and I hope the mods take note of it. @_David_Bowie @Metrallaroja @Gunjob
A leading edge extension is not a leading edge flap/slat.
Please allow me to educate you @MiG_23M on the differences of each technology and their uses.
Leading-edge droop flap
The leading-edge droop flap is a device on the leading edge of aircraft wings designed to improve airflow at high angles of attack. The droop flap is similar to the leading-edge slat and the Krueger flap, but with the difference that the entire leading-edge section rotates downwards, whereas the slat and Krueger flap are panels which move away from the wing leading edge when it is deployed.
They improve airflow over the wing in high angles of attack.
Droop flaps function with other high-lift devices on an aircraft to increase the camber.
They do not control airflow like strakes and leading-edge extensions.
F-16 Leading Edge Droop Flap.
Mig-29 Leading Edge Droop Flap.
Mirage 2000 Leading Edge Slats.
Incorrect.
A strake and canard improve airflow by controling it. Vortex generators are small fins that create mini wingtip vortices to energize the boundary layer and delay a stall.
The difference is that a Canard is also a foreword wing that generates additional lift along with the natural wingtip vortices as strakes do not provide additional lift themselves.
A leading-edge flap improves airflow over the wing and camber improving lift, but does not energize the boundary layer by creating a vortex flow field.
A Mirage 2000 has no canards.
Instead of large Leading-Edge Root Extensions like that of the Mig29 and F-16 the M2k is equipped with strakes.
