Well, they didn’t think that War Thunder will be 16v16 furballs where such things might actually be very useful.
They could’ve also just as likely been 31As since Yemen is quite the coastal nation, but I would assume you can use other methods for more manually targeting w/ ARMs and the sort, since things like Su-24M have done SEAD before w/ Kh-31P/58Us. (Although I think they need Phant for that but whatever)
On today’s standards Spo-15 is actually quite trash.
Both irl and warthunder.
What “doday’s standards” tagets gonna be engaged by those MiGs?
is there anyway to tell a Kh-31A vs an P model externally anyway?

i am not sure but i think its the seeker color, one is light gray while the other dark. not sure which one is
Indian accent slipped
From here I doubt it
RU aviation bias
Time to spam the feedback. Fulcrums are gonna need r73s and the 29G should be moved along with the Eagles
give me R-73s gaijin

Lmao meanwhile F2 ADTW sits at 13.0 and Eagles gets the same br as premium hornets while bein better in almost every way, not to mention 29 still cant get its R73 cause muh op claim.
Gaijin is so funny but not in good way.
I would gladly spade the 12.7 soviet MiG-29 if it got them (yes I don’t have it spaded lol)
If they don’t want to give it R-73’s they might as well remove the ER and bring it down at 12.3 with 27R’s and R-60’s, and so it gets the same treatment as the F-18A.
sorry ron but your topic lack options so i am gonna post mine. go support
It’s terrible the state gaijin left the fulcrum in, considering its Flight model is dead and its weaponry has been massacred
Against the F-16C the MiG-29A in game is not hopeless (as it shouldn’t be) and their difference in rate when both are at correct speeds (at least unless there were changes in the last year to either of them) are negligible. The reason the F-16A slaps the MiG-29 in game (at least unless in the last year FM were changed) is because it is overperforming quite a bit at low speeds, but devs aren’t going to change it because of code limitations or something similar.

Anyway the MiG-29 we have in game is one of the more accurate 4th gen aircraft we have, there are many other aircraft that need much more changes.
Excuses not rooted in reality.
Yet it cannot perform basic loops or maneuvers as seen visually or according to the manual without stalling pre-emptively or losing too much speed to complete the maneuvers as prescribed.
it pretty much is that hopeless
true, but bleed rates when pulling are far more important in fights than sustained rates in general in this game when the envelopes are all extended far beyond 9g - this is also reflected in the EM charts of the f-16s having generally better and more favourable negative Ps v 29s even within those envelopes. why bother keeping your speed when you can just pull hard and barely lose any energy in exchange for angle constantly? this is why the gripen is still a very very strong flight model, even if it shouldn’t be
it’s overperforming at low speed, true, but also underperforming at peak rate - the mig-29 conversely is slightly underperforming at low speed and very overperforming at high speed. the matchup wouldn’t change either way if it got adjusted to be correct.
code limitations in general when it comes to these situations is gaijinspeak for them being lazy (while annoying, it’s to a degree understandable as there are plenty of other things they need to be working on), it’s pretty possible.
true!
