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

“Americans” are bad because everyone all over the world gravitates to that nation when they first play. Pop culture etc. brings them to that nation first above all.

Well, in terms of bvr there’s no doubt that the su27 is the best plane RN, like i said before, i believe that the f16 not getting nerfed and now the f15 overperforming in terms of FM is because of this: They are probably doing this because of “balance”, the f16 was heavily outmatched by the mig29 in BVR and if corrected it would be on par WVR, on the devserver the su27 outmatched the f15 both in BVR and WVR by a LARGE MARGIN, there was nothing that the f15s could do and the plane would be completely useless if released like that, thus nobody would research it. The problem is that they NEVER admit that, they always throw some shitty excuses and refuse to elaborate further. I’ll repeat what i said weeks ago: IMO, they’ll only correct the f16, and now maybe the f15, when fox3s get added.

It’s still playable, purely by virtue of poor strategy from BLUFOR players. You have to keep a very careful eye on your RWR though. They never turn off their scanning radars so you always have some bearing of where you need to keep an eye, and they have to enter within render range for a 9M shot. In anything without counterplay, though, it’s pain. I love my Su-25T but damn does it hurt trying to evade a 9M

I agree it is the best jet. But I do not think we should speak much on that. Its lacking a literal radar and I do not want them to think its ok

I’m veeeeeeeeeery skeptical about the flanker tho, it really seems to be underperforming by a large margin after the update came live, it performed much better on the devserver

They balance all enjoyability from the game if you care about the real parameters of the planes they add. I still can’t bring myself to play the MiG-29A without something at least resembling its historical loadouts

Just don’t use the R-27ER, boom… historical.

IK and it’s frustrating, i agree with you, like i said when the viper and the fulcrum were the topdogs, they could stick those 27ers into their asses and just nerf the f16, then perfect balance would come to the game.

historical for an Iraqi MiG-29 in desert storm, I guess

Or Russian MiG-29s prior to 1991.

Was the Su-27 radar a copy paste larger range version of 9.13 radar İRL like it is in the game rn?

i absolute HATE the R27ER, it’s probably the main reason for this “balance” mess.

This all happened because gaijin for so long thought the R-60M was equivalent to 9L , even tho 9L outclassed it in every way.

They thought so highly of R-60M that on release Mig-29 had R-60 stock , not even R-60M, while F-16s were getting 5Km orbital shot kills vs Mig-29s with 9Ls while the R-60 can’t reach a target at 2KM, lmao

It always had the R-73. It’d be like adding the MiG-23M with only R-13Ms. It’s unjustifiably ahistorical to have a Soviet MiG-29 without R-73s, although giving it R-27Es in addition adds insult. Shit, even the MiG-23MLD should get R-73s (and an FM buff, and an uptier).

They didn’t see it as equivalent, they thought they could balance it out by giving the MiG-29 R-27Es that it never used because the R-73 wasn’t ready. Then they backed out on their word that it was a temporary measure and that the R-73 would come when it was ready.
