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

I think it was done in symmetry with F-16A that has to research trough AIM-9J before it can get Lima. And Floggers technically also have to go trough rear aspect heat seeker phase, just with R-13 instead

None of which applies anymore bc the Block 10 is a lower BR and the Block 15 does get stock 9Ls (and now they gave it 120s) xd

Oh and the Fulcrum is more than a whole BR step above the Flogger, and still has to go through a rear aspect missile xdxd and pretty much for nothing, since anyone would only carry 2 R-60s since you get stock 2x60M + 2x27 xdxdxd

Not even the 141 has to put up with this treatment. Gaijin cracks me up xdxdxdxd

yeah i researched napalm on the mig first bc imo two napalm are more useful than two rear aspect r-60’s

i mean, MiG-29 also gets stock R-60Ms. I am not saying that they are equal to 9Ls but by gaijin logic everything fits.

I posted a test indicating that the in-game MiG-29 was not dynamic enough compared to the real one, but the moderator closed my thread.

So the moderator says a serious document is needed, but what about “practical aerodynamics of Mig-29”, isn’t it a frivolous document?
I think there’s a double standard here.

becasue you made the report incorrectly

you have to attach the whole page with the important information and the cover page of the document

What was the point of closing the report without the ability to add anything to it?

I recreated the bug report with an image of the title page of manual.

I am warming up to MiG-29SMT. With 13.3 being filled with hordes of Su-30 you are really effective at bonking stuff with amazing radar gimbal limit as well as solid 6 missiles.
Wish we had 9.15 as well alonside it so i can trade slightly worse RWR for 2 additional R-77s

you need to post the full page (not cropped)

If you have china you can play the Chinese flanker that’s somehow at 13.3. Best 13.3 in the game imo, even better than 29smt

just to be sure, correct me if i am wrong.

the possible mig29s that can come to the game is

mig29k 9-31 with 8 early r77
mig29kr 9-41r with 6 r77-1 ? i think its 8
mig29m 9.15
mig29m2 aesa ? they test it
mig35 9-41s

now i wanna ask if there a possible way to see a mig29k early with only the 4 r27 and 4 r73, i would love to see one at 13.0

can the later MiG-29s (post 2005 29M and onwards) take fully digital images through the IRST or is that just the Su-35?

MiG-35S can have AESA and TVC btw, both are export options

they should add the twin seater variant because its lighter (no extra heavy fuel tank)

same with the mig29m2, they have it as a option but not in service with russian, it might come to the game if gaijin pull a deep research and found out that russia only use 1 aesa mig29/35. but for now we are stuck with pesa

The mig-35s in service use n010m, no pesa

performance wise is like the mig29smt ? or the su27sm ?

the N010M is a newer version of the Mig-29SMT radar

does it improve range or DL ?
