yeah, it’s actually accurate right now at lower speeds for acceleration and thrust and overperforming at higher speed. It has too much acceleration currently
What about drag?
This graph also shows drag curves alongside thrust curves
not sure about drag, as that’s highly variable
But can I ask why does 8200kgf get denied?
When its literally what its supposed to do installed.
that is for around 0.5 mach installed. not at 0 mach. and it does that in game
This graph is also for calculating the most profitable speed in horisontal flight with the most profitable angle of attack (man i have zero clue how it should be translated to english, but this is the most literate translation). And there is also AOA value of 24 degrees shown for this graphh but i dunno what should it mean in this specific case.

yeah idk what that means. prolly squish could explain @FeetPics, he’s good at reading those kind of graphs
No wonder, i can’t imagine comprehending this while sober

A super correct one then.
7745KGF using a war thunder calculator. Still misses 500kg in each engine
And this on takeoff.

hi so 5.4. is available power (thrust) vs required power (drag), it accounts for all losses and is for actual aircraft and not stand engines. the amount it loses is entirely bc of installation losses, u can derive acceleration graphs from this (a=f/m and f = ap - rp / m, wherein ap is available power and rp is required power) and it should line up pretty much with Nx graphs of the self-same manual this is being derived from - mig29 in game pretty much lines up correctly just that the accel graphs are a bit wrong and accel from combat usage of mig29 aircraft manual shows achieving m0.5-m1 in manual within 20s (13t, 2xr60m) but within game it is 17-18s

So are you saying it lacks thrust or not? cause this test was with clean wings.
its overperforming in thrust (and possibly drag in supersonic region)
Well it performs horrible in dogfights against the F-16 which it has historically beaten multiple times (MiG-29G). I belive it lacks thrust. In real life demonstrations it flies better than in game

in real life demonstrations it has only won because of r73 advantage - it is fair to credit this to the aircraft but you have to remember that the fights were vs f16cs, bl50 vars and it is fair to assume that this would happen in real life due to g limitations. in later greek evaluations with no missiles the mig29s had no advantage vs f16s in pure gunfights and they just got slammed because its just not optimized for much beyond point defense
MiG-29 has a limit of 28-30 degrees. The F-16 at most 22.5

this does not give it an advantage in gunfights or otherwise proper wt dogfights
Well if you have a tighter circle it does in fact help in dogfights

i can show you how an f16c can just permanently rate and ignore whatever you do in an f16c if you want in wt - the mig29 is not as good as you think. just hit me up if u want to duel

I’m down 9.12 vs B50
block 50 just sits in rate, mig 29 cant do anything
