If you’re going to broaden the brackets until you fit any game with multiplayer and tanks + planes you’re going to include COD but that doesn’t make them similar. There is quite literally not a single game similar to War Thunder on the market. Nothing can take the place or challenge it at the moment.
It would be easy too, talk to the players. See what they actually want. Instead the best we’ve got is some suggestions made by the devs themselves and implemented in a manner they see fit with the illusion that we got what we wanted. We’re running in place here.

100%, the lack of competitors is probably the main reason behind their pathetic laziness, they control the niche.

Pilots and tankers of War Thunder unite lol

The practical aerodynamics manual for MiG-29 uses some of the following load outs when it refers to ~13 tons 1500 kg fuel
#1 (13015 kg)
#2 (~13250 kg)
The War thunder & DCS MiG-29 (clean) underperform the real MiG-29 (with racks).
Attached one case where it clarifies 13t loadout.
It might also be the case 0.86 Oswald (MiG-29) refers to clean without racks, and 0.75 refers to an armed configuration (Su-27).
Root of the problem is Gaijin FM, the whole plane (not just wings) should have 0.86 Oswald.

Oswald number in-game does not correlate to the real life numbers in many cases - for the Su-27 the issue lies not solely in the oswald coefficient but in many other values as well.

It can pull 9G at this speed =/= It can pull 9G while maintaining this speed
RideR2’s chart shows the amount turn / pull each aircraft can do at those speeds while maintaining that speed (i.e. without bleeding any speed).

He saves 9G at a speed of 900km/h IRL, but he cannot do this in the game

The chart you added to your post shows the sustained turn rate with 1500kg of fuel.
AFAIK @RideR2 's tests are typically done with 30 minute of fuel (or max fuel if the plane has less than 30 minutes).
This translates to 3453 kg of fuel on the MiG-29 9.13

Yeah (a little bit less than 30 minutes but that’s the max internal fuel you can take on the MiG-29 9.13)

Spoiler
Anyone know what is this bomb like thing? (white arrow)
Initially thought it looked like a KAB-500, but I’m not 100% on that. Looking back again, the scale doesn’t seem quite right compared to the helmet.

could this be a training bomb?
Some kind of modified (or updated) version of the P-50T bomb, maybe the Chinese version…Практическая авиационная бомба П-50Т | Каталог Рособоронэкспорт (roe.ru)
