Does the Radar still the same as SMT we got in the game?

I like playing with the G. It has become a lot more enjoyable since they improved the BRs

Yak-141 radar was pretty much similiar to SMT tho?

Just difference is range and nctr which doesn’t matter for wt purposes

SMT one is an upgrade. But by most part as kizvy said - biggest difference is lock range.

Havent had any success finding a copy on the second hand market in my country sadly.
shame he didnt do a new run of copies, the demand is certainly there considering the prices on the second hand market

Asking for a friend, is there any reason why MiG-29SMT has the best IRST compared to other comparative Russian Jet? I thought Su-30SM would have the same IRST as SMT.

The same reason why the J11B has a c&p of the MiG29 9.12 IRST (which Is dogshit)

Because Gaijin…

Well I’m definitely NOT an expert of this, but from the looks, 29-SMT and 30-SM have pretty much lookalike IRST, and yet how the hell they can have different value? Like, I understand if MiG-23 have very limited IRST FOV due to obvious reason. But why for 30-SM? Because Gaijin? Lmao

Just bloody why.

Su30SM also has a c&p of the MiG-29 9.12 IRST afaik
Just with slightly larger gimbal

Bc there aren’t really any sources on the OLS-30 (the irst of the Su30sm)

Duality of gaijin. We don’t have any good source on Kh-38MT so we gonna make it an absoulte beast borderline overpowered weapon system. We also don’t have any good source on OLS-30 so we are gonna make it an utter dogshit.

I was bored at weekend so decided to.spade the 29smt.

I was surprised as its actully fun.
13.3 is a great BR!

Dont even need to buy expert crew as it just doesnt pull… only other vics iv got away with no crew are the tornado and harrier.

Its a shame the FM is so bad. Iv flown most jets in the game- Mig29, harrier and tornado are easily the ones in most need of a FM boost…

Still handy for spotting distances in realistic

Even with aced crews the spotting mechanics feels like a coin toss sometimes in ARB

True. But its so spenny.

Had 12 mill saved for the sale. Skint again 😐

Idk, I just like experting everything I have enough SL for

Yeah fun aircraft, good radar, nice CM amount and an ok missile count for ARB.

FM is laughable tho, especially when you toggle the AoA limiter, that button is like “press to lose every single encounter”
