Good to know, I didn’t knew why, I just knew that it was mostly/ only used on the Su27

It made no sense to equip the MiG-29 with a weapon that outranged the radar.
In retrospect, it may have been useful to have a weapon with better time to target, but that is something they probably hadn’t considered necessary.
No MiG-29 FM fixes?

There was never any expectations for fixes, so no

Not really that simple, in a similar way to the 9M33M3 outranging the Osa-AKM guidance system.
Range is just energy, but that energy can be used in other ways. Against manoeuvring targets especially.
That’s why they made the R-27R accelerate slower and maneuver harder than the R-24R.
Well the amount of energy the R-27R gets out of it is comparable to the R-24R, its just spread over a longer burn time.
Yet it can maneuver better at high altitude than the R-24R, enabling it to actually hit the targets.
The R-24R’s are no slouch at hitting their targets.
They are considerably underperforming as well, just fyi

Make a bug report
Why, I showed them the F-5’s are considerably overperforming and they do nothing for “balance” lol, no need to bother with such reports anymore.

Where is this from?
It’s quite interesting that Gaijin refuses to buff the MiG-23 to historical levels even though it would potentially increase their profits from the premium MiG-23ML.

Do you have all of the pages? I only have the ones that were on the listing.
So buy the listing
On SMT the deactivation of the AOA limit seems to cause a pitch down atm.
On all speeds or just on low? I know Instructor forces nose down to prevent stalling and it most noticeable then you exist Manuver mode on low speeds
Low speed while flying straight.
