Better RWR and Radar? Holy moly

yeah the view is so far back haha
Was hoping for 73’s at least, but then again, this is miles better than the Turkish premium F-104
Obviously, this is literal the best upgrade for MiG-29, holy moly, the salt!

Yeah, compared to every other MiG-29 in the game this one is blatant P2W (if you can call it this way because it’s still Fox-1 slinger in a Fox-3 world). Tho i was thinking that Gaijin will give it some NATO weaponry, considering that it was one of the goals for the program. Would be cool to get Lima sidewinders instead of R-60Ms

Oh Sniper also looses IRST (at least in current version on dev) so this is another trade-off, but good RWR and radar absolutely outweigh this

What about the MiG-29G? With the 27ER and R73 already at 13.0
Yep, would have turned into a Mig-29G but with an actual RWR and radar
If they removed the 27ER from the 29G it would still be worse in terms of sensors, the Sniper at least gets an actual RWR
Russia having the worst MiG-29 variants is kinda whack
- MiG-29G
- MiG-29 sniper when it releases
- MiG-29 9-13/9-12 in Russia/german/Italian tree

Well, i find SPO-15 to be serviceable, it’s not as unusable as something like F-14A RWR. But Sniper one is indeed a significant upgrade in comparison.

Thought the MiG-29G already had the inproved RWR my mistake
Yep, especially considering its a late 90’s upgrade

Actually Mig29 Sniper is for Italy, not for Russia.

I know I was just ranking all mig 29s in the game based on their performance/excpected performance for their br
Most likely Gaijin doesn’t want to put it directly at “suffer br”. They could stretch it even more by giving it AMRAAMs for example and placing it at 13.3 considering that sensors wise it is 29SMT equivalent. But slamming little Timmies directly into 14.0 uptiers agains MICA and C-5 would be not the smartest financial decision.
I highly doubt AMRAAM would even be sold to it at that time, maybe Derby. Even then, it’s a MiG-29, it can carry R-73’s. This thing is already better than the current MiG-29 at it’s current BR due to better radar and RWR. Giving it R-73’s would just be better

Why?
they put timmies in their f4s or mig23 against the F14 before
