December update would be the perfect timing for its addition, let’s keep our fingers crossed ;)

Mig29s can carry 6 x R77s
Looks like we are not getting passed

It seems like people only care about su-30 and su-27s…
Main am I disappointed by the community and the devs…
The 29 was butchered, we got one of the worst possible version of it and now we are left with nothing… I low key hope we have a K variant in the incoming update…

I think people bought the narrative that fulcrum will always be worse than the flanker no matter the variant and that’s why they prefer new sukhoi planes

Noooooooooo!!!
I don’t want the MiG-29SMT; it doesn’t look good, and its combat performance is lacking. I want the MiG-29M！！！
Yeah, that’s not happening

They might add later as a “filler” plane, regardless, 90s tech is my limit and i don’t have much interest past that timeframe…

Yeah but I’d really like if this thing would be somewhat meta for a couple of updates

Knowing Gaijin it’s going to be a premium like the MiG-23ML

Man, now with the addition of the EFT i think we’ll never see a mig29m meta, that thing is an absolute monster…

Yep, at least thought it would be competitive unlike the Su-27sm or the SMT

Perhaps the next update will include the MiG-29M or MiG-35. It’s a pity they didn’t appear in the current new version.

I hope so but with the most recent leaks it’ll probably be the su-30sm, let’s hope for the best…

I’d be quite tired to see another flanker, it’s been already (march is next patch) 1.5 years since the last 29. All people seem to think about thought is the Su-30SM.
Assuming the 29M engines follow a similar curve to the MiG-29A ones (it’s very likely that at low speed they are much better thanks to reworked intakes and also likely that the improvement at higher speeds is less) at around mach1 it would surpass even the EFT in thrust/weight. This MiG-29 deserves a chance, it’s basically only held up by low CM amount (120 is not a lot) and the R-77 not being fantastic. Radar while by far not the best in game anymore is still competent enough to get the job done.

Although everything is pointing to the addition of the su-30 in one of the next year’s updates i still believe there’s a chance for the 9-15 being added, specially because the bars of the su-30sm seems too advanced compared to the other radars we have now, the “super fulcrum” might be a more balanced addition.
