I agree.
The GDR MiG-29 (9.12A) is kinda sad.
Its flight performance is mid af, if not even too bad for its BR and the only reason it is so high in the first place is because of the R27ER (which get outclassed by the fakour which is a BR below in sim BRs)
also it has probably the worst IR missiles at the BR.
Imo it’s a very good fighter IF you’re at 12.7 br or a downtier, however in uptiers it’ll get absolute demolished.
Unfortunately it’ll take a while for them to adjust top tier BRs, after they started adding 4th gen it took them like 2 years to adjust the BR for 3rd gen and there are still some of these planes facing stuff that they shouldn’t… Hopefully when su-30sm gets added we’ll get some decompression.
An Su-27 had 27ERs when ramming a recon aircraft in 1987 so they were regular issue by then.
Indian MiG-29K
Beluga-29. Kinda exotic ngl
Its probably gonna end up in British Tree.
either will be an event aircraft for the UK or a premium in the future.
Gaijin really limited the indian techtree by making it a Premium/Event/Squadron only stt for the UK
Gajin not ready add the early aircraft pre-order premium in rank 9 until Q4 2026 or Q3 2027, maybe
But depends on gajin only
I Hope that in wt we get the 9-15 mig29m before the 2000s one :/
Off-topic, but I still want to talk about MiG-29. After I while I have unlocked JF-17 Sqd Vehicle, tbh in its Live Battle, it felt like the old MiG-29 FM that can literally turn anything other than any Delta Canards Fighter, especially it share the same engine as the MiG-29.
Does anyone feel the same when first time playing JF-17? Although the BR wasn’t quite fun due to constant uptier to 14.0, I’m having fun on its FM that gives me nostalgia to old MiG-29 FM.
JF-17 is a weird plane, i think nobody ever bothered enough to check if it’s correctly modeled or not but who knows…
I see, then it’s more likely at least by my feel, JF-17 is literally the old FM of MiG-29.
If anyone can bother see the actual FM for the JF-17 I be thankful, especially comparing it to the old MiG-29 FM.
Fun aircraft, but NOT VERY FUN for its BR, it is impossible to get a downtier to 12.3, and most of your downtier goes to 13.0 thanks to F-14A IRIAF.
If we’re going back to MiG-29, the only drawback of JF-17 is the single engine makes the aircraft obviously pull less thrust. If this JF-17 or should I say, old FM of MiG-29 FM be applied back to the MiG-29, it would be a menace for 13.7 (although the CM would be its greatest drawback). This is how I remember MiG-29, the aircraft that can turn anything just like F-16A, not a flying brick.
JF-17 is very light (only 6400kg empty) and wileywalrus shows that in terms of dogfighting capability, it wins against the F-16 Block 15 but loses against the Block 10.
The main drawback is the lack of thrust, newer variants of the JF-17 do get a more powerful engine though.
It sort of has the energy retention of an F-16 at high speed while at low speed the JF-17 kinda has that F-18-style AOA capability, not surprising because the LERX is similar in design. In DCS the JF-17 kinda feels that way as well, JF-17 in DCS actually can outrate the F-16C which is true in WT as well. So I don’t think the FM is too inaccurate especially as WT fighters generally outperform in terms of their AOA and G-limits anyway.
Why did gaijin forgot about MiG-29s? We have Rafale and Eurofighter, F-15E, Su-34. But not even early MiG-29M 9-15, or a later 9-41S.
They decided to rush eras for some reason
I wouldn’t be surprised if the next mig they add is the mig 35
is there a mig 29 with canards ??
