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

[noister]

So i was trying to find concrete evidence of L265M PD MAWS function, but didnt find it yet.

However what i could find was that Talisman pod, used in multiple MiG-29s does indeed have that function. The coverage is limited (±45 in front and back vertically, ±60 horizontally ) but better than nothing. Plus you can still carry the r73 with pod on. Maybe someone will go through the trouble of making a suggestion/bug report for it.

@kizvy this might interest you

Forward and rear MAWS coverage only would be so chopped </3

ignoring that gaijin wouldn’t model it cus funny ECM pod moment

Hey, atleast its better than nothing.

@Saprano_2132

Would depend, it didnt stop gaijin adding SPS-141 ECM pods to MiG-21SMT. Gaijin could straight up name it as MAWS PODS or smthing.

[ron_23]

seems like my theory of how it would have worked wasnt wrong

@kizvy

though it was not implemented yet on the control system of mig-29 yet.

there might be a source out there saying the zhuk or bars can, but thats just wishful thinking

Actually prototype 155-156 uses L-150 if I’m not mistaken.

I dont think a r73 could be used lol, just how small it is nest to a r73.

Also su25 can also use it.

wdym couldn’t be used? Photos literally show combat versions of R-73s installed alongside Talisman

[racimazzedine]

no i said you cant use a r73 with the thing like we see with the r60m in the image

[GitGood]

@racimazzedine

we see with the r60m in the image

This is R-73…

[racimazzedine]

this ? its looks small ?

[GitGood]

yes, you can see distinct R-73 tail fins at the back with aelerons. R-60M has longer tail fins with bigger sweep and with rollerons at the edge

not to mention bigger distance between destabilisers and control surfaces and different fuse

[racimazzedine]

oh yeah i see it now.
damn the r73 is back that the one on the wing next to it make it look small

@kizvy

found a source that states that r27er could be fired at 2 targets simulatenously, though it was not implemented yet on the control system of mig-29 yet.

It is implemented on Su-30SM tho (at least according to the video from the excercise). But i doubt that gaijin will bother to program this for a single missile. Maybe if we will get MiG-31 with R-33 that also can be launched at several targets simultaniously.

jf17 and f111 have rear maws coverage only

[Saprano_2132]

Well unlike SPS-141 which is required to have countermeasures on things like 21MF/SMT and Bis-SAU, MAWS isn’t exactly required for gameplay to work properly…

[Saprano_2132]

And they’re so chopped </3 especially 111…

[Abyss_Revenant]

@Saprano 2132@live

especially 111…

It does not have Maws. This is called the first generation Flare detector

[Macron-Spokesman]

@ron_23

and it is basically garantueed that the Su-35S will come in the near future since BVVD said that we will only get next gen IR missiles once everyone has a plane with a MAW

What would the solution be for the US?

[ron_23]

F-15EX can get MAWs from what i know

otherwise there isnt any option as far as iam aware
(unless they get something like the MAW pods on the belgium f-16)

[Mytho-GR1]

Not US service ones but yeah it can it has the mounts
