From what I saw it moves better than most TVC aircraft, could be dumb tbf
It’s truly disappointing that the developers still have no intention of adding the MiG-29M to the game. This is very frustrating, as I am a great admirer of the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau.
I can’t stand it anymore—I really want to play with the MiG-29M in the game!!!🥵🥵🥵
At least now there are very few sukhois left to be added. I think this year we’ll finally see a mig29 again, let’s hope it’s the M…

the mig-29m with r-77-1 and with its extra pylons would me competitive at 13.7 and if they made it the OVT version it would make a good 14.0 mig-29. although i have a feeling if the mig-29OVT comes it will be a premium or event jet way later if they get to 15.0
they could also add the mig-29 sniper as a premium or event for Romania (Italy). there is the mig-29k could be added to india (UK).
they need to at least add the mig-29m. having the extra pylons and r-77-1 would make it a good pick for top tier. i feel like they have abandoned the mig-29 for all the Flankers. Mig-29 is honestly my favorite jet.

still quite allot of sukhois left , su27sm3,su30mkk,su30mka,su30sm2,su32,su32,su34m,su35s,su37
Yes but out of all of them the only relevant ones are the 30SM2, 35 and 37. All of the other variants are either worse or pretty much the same as what we already have ingame, our current SM for example already got almost all of the improvements listed for the SM3 (on practice it is the SM3) and the Su-30SM is one of the best flankers ever made by Russia, only worse than these 3 that i mentioned afaik.

If it got 77-1 it could easily go 14.0, perhaps even more… But i think that missile won’t be in the 9-15.
i don’t think it would go to 14.0br. the r-77-1 is just increased range and is now on par with the aim120. the coming su-30sm with r-77-1 and thrust vectoring is going to be 14.0. i don’t think this would be close to that in performance.
Without counting export models (which should go to their country operators as TT or a Sub-TT), we are close to running out of Flankers, for realistically we only have left: Su-27SM3 (debatable), Su-30SM2 (with AL-41 engines), Su-37 (would be a great squadron/event/prem jet) and Su-35.

With r-77-1 even the basic M would definitely be 14.0, it has far better flight performance than the Su-30SM. Acceleration and climb rate at lower altitudes are close to EFT’s level.
But the 9-15 can’t get the R-77-1, only the 2005 MiG-29M/M2 can. It is in practice the same aircraft, it has just an uglier canopy.
Even with basic R-77 it would still be competitive though, it would basically be a M2K/J-10 on steroids.

i thought the mig-29m from 2005 is the 9-15. nothing else has the 9-15?
With the advent of the Su-30SM in-game now, I feel the next logical thing for Gaijin to do for Russian air is to add something for the MiG-29 line. Personally, I’m still bitter Russia does not get a 13.0 MiG-29 with R-73 missiles despite the fact that they invented the airframe and missile. I really do hope this gets added, foldered with the 9-13 at 13.0 – then we could have something else for 13.7 and hopefully a 14.0 Fulcrum at some point as well.

Of the in service armament not any major stuff… as far as i have read some sources say that R-27EA was only tested on the 9-15, so if the EA ever comes to the game the 9-15 would certainly equip it (it could also easily be the only one to use them, since supposedly is the only one to fire them)
The MiG-29 9.13S can fill that roll pretty well. It can pull 2 degrees more of AoA, has access to R-7ERs, R-73s and apparently R-77s along with an upgraded N019M radar. Not sure if it gets upgraded engines like the german MiG-29A/G or an upgraded rwr, but it would still be pretty good for a 13.0
It could have gotten the SPO-15T, as it was being tested in during the 1990s, but im not sure. (SPO-15T is essentially a digitalized version of regular SPO-15)
I’m hoping they’ll add the S without r77s otherwise it’ll get 13.3-13.7 Br…
I need This to be premium for RU +1
I’d prefer it to be TT but i love this plane so much that even if added as a premium i’d buy It even though i already have the entire soviet tree researched lol
