Reading about this vehicle, the MIG-29S might be a cool addition to the game, it has some interesting improvements over the original 9.12 and 9.13. I could see it being added under these planes.
It will probably get added in the future like the P-51C was added late. It’s an important major variant being the first aircraft to fire r-77 but right now it would either be too good if 13.0 or outclassed if 13.3

It’s probably going to behave like a light SMT
These RVV-AE are standard R77s?

Yes

Yeah but without extra 56 countermeasures and a far worse radar and RWR.

i am very tempted to start grinding the german air tree just because of the mig29g but at the same time i’m afraid that once i get close to it gaijin might troll me and add a proper mig29 with r73s to Russia…
It’s unlikely that Gaijin will make major munition and BR changes to the current non SMT MiG-29s specifically. Unless you want a Eurofighter, grinding Russia will be the better alternative.
They might give us the K together with the F-18, unless they decide to add the naval flanker.
Naval flanker is DOA.

Why would Germany get the MiG-29K or navalised Flanker?
F-18 and then Typhoon

I meant mig29k for Russia and f18 for the US

I’m expecting them to introduce those in a different update (maybe new year?) with (maybe) overhauled carriers and stuff. Su-33, Mig-29k, F-18 and maybe the last Tomcat variant. They can also introduce some other naval aircraft too.

I have similar expectations
If this so, then if Rafale also would come, will it be Naval Rafale?
Tbh this sounds pretty realistic (or probably not), since it will fit the theme of Modern Naval Aircraft, while last year, we got Air Superiority Fighter. It would be logical if this winter, we got Naval Air Superiority Fighter.
One can only hope. I’d love to see sea assets being actually useful again in the modern setting. There are many aircrafts that could take off from and land to CVs even in the current state.

Maybe they will do that before December or even add the plane without passing to the devs, it’s a bit of cope from my part but it’s not impossible lol. I just hope they don’t add another flanker because holy shit i’m already tired of them.

They often accept suggestions 2 months before the update they add them (if they add them). At least that’s what happened with the Mirage4000 and kinda with my MiG-21-93 suggestion (MiG-21bison is basically the same thing).
At this point I think they are sadly going to jump straight to an early version of the MiG-29M2 or more probably, since f-18 is coming, the MiG-29K 9-41 with the N010M and not the Pesa/Aesa radar… which would be a shame as without those radars (which are a bit too modern for the game imho) they have no advantage over the original soviet ones and they got the ugly 2 big cockpit.
I really hope we don’t get another flanker lol, it’s been more than a year since we got the last MiG-29. I’m gonna be so pissed if they add the Su-33 or the Su-30
