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

haha i initially thought so, but alas its arcade - dint realise till later. Got all excited for a split second tho lol

Only other one that comes to mind is su33 which i believe runs at its emergency thrust permanently in wt

Thank you, would check it out in free time. I am all for Fulcrum buffs, but they should be realistic and with a proof to them.

If you mean the special afterburner, it doesn’t.

It automatically disengages once you hit a certain speed (around 300 to 400kph)

oh cool, didnt know they implemented that

Very curious table. I did some brief looks and it seems that indeed this table shows thrust of a single engine and with intake losses taken into consideration. I find very interesting the fact that this engine gives out close to 10k kgf at supersonic speed closer to the deck. Did anyone used this table in a bug report? Or gaijin did usual “not enough data”?

Gaijin just ignores bug reports based on this.

Like I already said, this stuff is so obvious and simple to fix that I dont think this is unintentional.
My bet is that they intentionally nerfed the 29s so that they can buff them (or better said - make em realistic) when a premium or new top tier fulcrum drops.

This would make them the most cash and is therefor the most likely scenario

They already bonked Sniper with a nerf, removing new radard with basic MiG-29 one

But the fact that recently a MIG-29 Sustained turnrate report got accepted tells me that they`ll probably change the FM soon

either this or next update

copium mode engaged then, would be good to get a competitive Fulcrum

Im 70% shure we`ll get a MiG-29 premium for russia soon.

MiG-29M 9.15 would be good candidate

i dont think so, because we haven’t gotten a Mig-29 buff on the dev-server

I know the 29Sniper

and my bet is we will get a 29 buff soon because of the reason stated before.
doesnt mean we need to get it this update

Old radar is back, no more target recongnition nor different scan patterns

Honestly I just hope it gets it back or gets better weapons, even more better if they’re western weapons (as it uses the same computing system found on the LanceR)

Definitely would like to see that

would be kinda cool if it wasnt just a copy paste MiG-29A with different RWR.

Jokes aside, I know it’s an abysmal FM, so yeah, a 29 with better flight performance than the SMT and with 73’s would be nice.
