I honestly Can’t comprehend their logic when giving early vipers 13.0 Br and 12.7 for the fulcrums, like ok the mig29 sucks FM wise but everyone knows that for the META, bvr ordinance is much more relevant, even more now that multipath got nerfed. Why can’t they remove the r27er from the fulcrum and give it r73s? Why the fk they love that missile so much?

Gonna use my German Mig-29G with R-73 and 27ER now at 13.0 It’s also a joke how the best aicraft before this patch (gripen A) is only 13.0 now lmao.

It’s funny how the best MIG-29 is yet again german. With missiles it never had IRL. The R-27ER/ET.
The MIG-29G literally stomps everything with how often it gets downtiers.
The SMT is still a joke

Whats your propose then, im curios.
For the meta I consider the smt better because of its radar, but tbh idc about the meta, i just want all 29s to bleed less energy…

I’m not malekith but I assume that he wants a light mig29 with r73s for the russian tree, I want that too

MIG-29 bleeds more speed than my mig-21bis.
So you either have: MIG-29 with good radar that has the worst top tier flight model
OR
SU-27 with radar from stone age that Fred Flintstone made with 2nd worst top tier flight model

The MiG-29 was designed and built with R-73s in mind, it’s a complete travesty all it gets R-60Ms at 12.7. What it was NOT designed and built with in mind are R-27ERs, so it should lose those and gain R-73s, should be fine at 12.7 if the MiG-29G is 13.0 and gets the R-27ERs. Speaking of, if the MiG-29G is to remain distinct, it can stay exactly as it is and fill the middle ground between the WVR-focused 9-12A/9-13 and the BVR-focused 9-19R.
And if the FM ever gets fixed, they can all go up 0.3 BR: 9-12A/9-13 to 13.0, MiG-29G to 13.3 and 9-19R to 13.7.

Lol true, after the update they fell completely behind the Western planes in both bvr and wvr. Unfortunately gaijin won’t accept videos as evidence for such underperforming stuff, the guy from the video that i posted in the flanker thread made a report but couldn’t achieve success. They said that they can only accept manuals and stuff like that, the problem is that there’s little to no info regarding the issue that both the su and the mig are having rn.

Ik, but gaijin won’t add r73s because of unknown reasons. Idk why they are keeping the r27er+ r60m loadout instead of r27R + r73

Well, at this point the decrease of Russian aircraft in matches is noticeable. Teams are %70-80 F-15/16 I hope everyone stops playing these joke russian planes and maybe gaijin will realize it’s costing them money to make russian aircraft so garbage

They were also reluctant to give the MiG-23MLD and Soviet MiG-21bis R-60Ms for a while (the German MiG-21bis got them like a year early AND at the same BR) so there’s hope.

My 9.13 have been rotting on the hangar since September and It’s a good aircraft for the meta but it just doesn’t feel right to fly that thing, it’s like a cursed mig31.

Also, R-60M at that BR is a joke
You can face F-15C in the Mig-29 with R-60Ms lol
My reaction to having hope for Russian flight models getting fixed
In its current state, it’s neither fun to play (butchered FM, horrible IR missiles, only 2 actually good and reliable missiles, the constant feeling of your entire plane only being held up by said crutch missiles) nor to play against (R-27ERs at that low of a BR are just nasty and arguably worse to deal with than the easily pre-flareable R-73s that practically lack IRCCM outside 1.5 km and randomly spin out of control would be).

Sadly SMT is an overweight whale that has trash fm.
Gaijin could’ve added Mig-29M or SMT that has no humpback but they decided not to.

You don’t want MiG-29 with SPO-15

If i remember MiG-29M didn’t have SPO-15, i didn’t see in on pictures of cockpit
SPO-15 can be displayed of MFD, but IDK did 9-15 had SPO-15 or L-150.
