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

I haven’t played War Thunder in like 2 months by now, I’ve watched some of the more important stuff but, does the MiG-29 have it’s realistic FM now?

Some say it is realistic but western aircraft are overperforming so because of that we have the feeling that it’s underperforming, others say that the mig is underperforming.

Ingame it’s still one of the worst planes compared to other 4th gen, even some 3rd gen like the MLD (in terms of flight performance).

I think that was just a poor attempt of modeling a rocket pod. Found a video of this model. Turns out its not even red lol

(Timed)

interesting

Yes that’s ok. When I was very active on the old forum, some suggestions that I made which had eventually become popular took a while to be passed. I don’t know their algorithm.

Yeah it’s definitely a weird way of handling suggestions, there are some that get passed immediately because they are about to be implemented in the next update, some are passed soon after they are made but then in game are nowhere to be seen (like su-15t recently and rafale-m a couple of months ago), while others take forever

Guys, don’t forget to check @Giovanex05 work later, it seems that most 4th/3rd gen aircraft were wrongly configured by gaijin

That’s probably the case, that’s why the mig29 feels so shitty.

Gaijin doesn’t care. Play western nations. İf you don’t wanna play west, play China, but just don’t touch Russia if you value your time

Ikr, i’m actually pretty discouraged to play wt overall, too many issues.

Last week they restricted me from using the forum cuz i was offline for too long from the main game lol

Is that a thing ? That’s delusional…

Seeing the new UFO FM like the JF-17 and J-10 makes me want to cry real hard when I compare how realistic the MiG-29 can be yet have to face a shitload if UFOs… it’s literally mars attack

War Thunder needs a competitor

They seriously do, WT has been going downhill in the past 2 years and it’s worse when it comes to models, FM balance etc.

They have gold in their hands but always chose the worse approach

Doubt it would do anything purely for WT already well established. It like CoD - no matter how bad or good it actually is, it is the most popular and recognisable

That’s not true at all, this isn’t anything like COD. The fanbase 100% would not be dedicated to this game if there was even a remotely similar one available. All they’d need to do is communicate better with the players and PLAY THEIR OWN GAME.
