I dont have smt yet but i will likely run r77/r27et. i really like r77s
29SMT at least has a good radar and armaments to offset the meh FM
Well, you can definitely feel the extra weight on it, I honestly prefer to run plain and simple 6x R-77 loadout
Extra and single pop countermeasures are also nice
Yeeeah… but you also gonna be fighting other top with their Fox-3s, so not much of the improvements
(I wonder tho, how good/bad things would go with 29SMT in game had R-77-1. Wasnt it also use them IRL?)
I did tests the MiG-29 9-12.
If you open the “practical aerodynamics of the MiG-29 aircraft”, you can see that the 9-12 weighing 14,200 kg should accelerate from 660 to 1020 km/h (350-550 knots) at an altitude of 1 km in 10 seconds, but in the game it does this exercise in 12 seconds. (20% time difference)
Further, at the very beginning, on page 12, acceleration with 80% remaining fuel (fuel consumption 20%) is indicated, acceleration from 600 to 1100 km/h in 13.5 seconds, in the game it does this exercise in 16 seconds.
I did bug report
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/2SvPmiiBjK5j
I do think it’s one of most undeserved nerf…
Like it’s a 29, it already doesn’t have much going for it…
Compared to the F-18 premium, or even the rtx, it’s ridiculous
the 29 sniper never had a better radar irl
if they want to make the mig-29 better they should fix the flight model and give it the r73
Has anyone done bug reports regarding apparent thrust missing in the MiG-29? was reading the thread and heard that it should have around 7.8 tf, with channel lose. Thats quite a bit of an improvement from the 6.8 tf we have as of now.
Keep the hopium high, we might be cooking something with the addition of the SNIPER.
Strongly suggest that you change the video, let me explain why:
Gaijin doesn’t accept usage of WTRTI for bug reports for some reason. I feel like it didn’t play a significant role but better safe than sorry.
The best way to do bug reports is using the localhost HTML. I dont remember the exact process to use it but someone here should know.
Or give it the same weapons the LanceR has, as they share the same computing system (which actually was integrated into the Sniper, not planned like the radar)
Weapons like Magic 2, Python 3, and ofc the R-73, as the rails the LanceR had could operate both western and eastern weapons (theres also other stuff like CAS, but I don’t want to be too “greedy”)
i was talking about hte mig-29’s in general
but true
the sinper should atleast get the 9L or even better the Magic 2
it already got the mk83 and the mk84 you are to greedy by asking for nato A2A missiles ^^
We got countless vehicles that has planned armament, Sniper wouldn’t be special in this case.
They could’ve added with Elta radar, gave R-73 and make it 13.0 easily.
imo it should get them, much like f16c should get 120c5
Context is important
You might have seen that I only said Mig29 and not Mig29 sniper
Why do you want a radar the sinper never had
In this case let’s remove Yak-141’s radar and RWR as well since it never received in real life.
See the logic in here?
But did they plan to give Elta radar to sniper?
As far as I know they did although radar wasnt integrated with sniper upgrade.
there is non because those two vehicles are completly differnet cases
first of all you are wrong it had a radar and completed weapons testing, it didnt had an IRST
second off all the romanian goverment / MoD decided they want to keep the N019 to reduce cost and complexity of the project,
that didnt happen for the YAK-141 unless you have a document saying that they want to put the 141 into service without a radar and RWR
but lets use your “logic”
then we would have to remove the turret of the E-100 since it never had it in real life
and put it down in br to 2.0 since it only has the hull machine gun, see the problem?
and after removing the rwr of the 141 lets put it at 11.0 since the BRs above that it cant effectively operate without an RWR
but lets keep going since the Su-27 was planned to originally have a pesa, instead of the N001, should it also get it ingame?
they did at the start of the siniper upgrade but those plans changed
they kept the N019 to reduce cost and complexity
