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

Also does anyone have any links/info on Russian IRSTs from this era?

Careful mentioning MPRF, it was a downgrade from HPRF to him in weeks prior… now it’s going to be the pinnacle of aviation radar technology if you say the same thing I’ve been telling him about it for weeks. Calling it now.

@_Fantom2451 probably has something

Totally agree 100%. let me know when that capability comes fully to WT.

There is definetely something wrong with proximity fuzes currently. R-73 Failing to detonate and just going past the target…

Proxy fuzes in general have been busted recently

This is often happening, i managed to avoid a lot of missiles recently

VT1, Stingers and Mistrals are also affected. Maybe even Pantsir.

favorite user skin for the SMT boys? I am loving this naval one. I hope we get the K I think it look much better.

Something from the old forum F-15 vs Su-27…

At speeds of 650-700 km/h, the Su-27 will surpass all Western 4th generation aircraft

We will see how they compare in the manuals, that is what the game will base their information on. Fortunately, the Su-27 is full fly-by-wire and has demonstrated sufficiently that it is capable of proper >100 degree Cobra (and more information about this region of flight is available)… No excuse from Gaijin to model it incorrectly.

I will riot if the F-16 can get UFO flight model when it isn’t İRL , but Su-27 won’t when it has UFO characteristics

The version in the game itself is Gaijin’s fault, because it claims to have a model from 9-19R, but in fact it’s 9-19 with an L-150 attached

Point is, the version first released to the game was the original SMT. You can already consider yourself very lucky that Gaijin gave it the L-150 when this version shouldn’t have it. The upgraded SMT with more CM and better weapons will most likely come later to the game, that or Gaijin will fully make the jump and upgrade the current SMT to the better version. In the meanwhile, deal with it.

Also, weird 3D models have been a thing for years. The baseline M1A2 has a SEP model since its release in 2019 yet has none of the SEP feature. Welcome to the club.

The problem here is not only in the 3D model. RWR was done because the MiG began to sag greatly according to statistics instead of correcting its FM and making normal missile noise protection. Which should be there. and it turned out to be a kind of Frankenstein

As said, the MiG-29SMT with low amount of CM and SPO-15 is what Russia used before it was upgraded. Deal with it. Complain to MiG and/or the Russian government if you’re not happy with that. Gaijin could have added the better SMT version but they decided to go with the first one. Their choice, it is what it is.

Which is why, you can already consider yourself lucky that Gaijin accepted to give it the L-150 when it shouldn’t have it in the first place.

Judging your reactions you will probably loose your mind if Gaijin decides to give additional CMs to SMT.

Current SMT model alredy evolved to 9-19R model when Gaijin gave it better RWR.

So its only natural that it will recieve its additional countermeasures sooner or later.

Gaijin could replace it with the MiG-29M 1986 where all this was already there
