its really a hard question, su-25 is so slow but have many bombs to bomb bases, mig-23 better to kill jets, you can also use its gun to kill light boxes and bot targets, maybe mig-23 better if you like air battles, but su-25 better if you like ground battles
with su-25 it may be hard to bomb bases specially if you become top tiered lol
A MiG-29 with 6 R-73s would have to be 13.0. The MiG-29 9.13, which only carries up to 6 R-60Ms or 4 R-60Ms and 2 R-27ERs, is 12.7 already.
They most likely won’t be giving the 9.13 R-73s and it seems extremely unlikely that they would get rid of the R-27ERs on it.
Also, the MiG-29UB would be able to mount R-27Ts (perhaps even R-27ETs) as well, wouldn’t it?
13.0 with decompression to 14.7 yeah, but its conciderably worse then the current 13.0s. Nobody would take a worse mig29G (both flight model and radar wise) at the same br as well as the SU27. Even having the trade off over the 9-13 of radar missiles for better IR missiles. Either way its RWR and lack of substantial countermeasures lets it down the most when compared to the JAS39A and F16AM. No maw, no radar. No option for a radar missile like the 39A. Big handy caps imo
Will come with no BOL and we’ll have to spend the dev server fighting to get its BOL

Just add a Czechoslovakian (or Polish) MiG-29 9.12 (copy paste of the German one) as a premium if the UB is that “difficult” to BR properly.
Or even just a base MiG-29 9.12, as the MiG-29 in the USSR tech tree is a 9.13.
Grinded the whole tree except 1 line in 2 weeks with the ML, definitely a worthy premium, but in all honesty it was before the F-16A got moved down and the F-18A was added.
Also gotta point out that a better rank 8 premium might actually be behind the corner D:
Hopefully MiG-29 9-12A (GDR), MiG-29 9-12B (HuAF), MiG-29G (DEU) and MiG-29 9-13 (USSR) lose R-27ER
R-73/R-73E instead 6 R-60 on MiG-29 9-12A (GDR), MiG-29 9-12B (HuAF) and MiG-29 9-13 (USSR)
4 MiG-29 omitted R-27ER & R-27ET
- MiG-29 9-12A (GDR)
- MiG-29 9-12B (HuAF)
- MiG-29G (DEU)
- MiG-29 9-13 (USSR)
No, why would they get rid of them?
They never had them IRL.
Their loadout should be R-73s and R-27Rs but when they were originally added to the game in Dec 2022, R-73s were deemed way too powerful, so they were given R-60Ms + R-27ERs (which I personally think was actually worse)
Now R-73s are established, they could make the swap

GDR, HuAF and Bundeswehr never ordered R-27ER/R-27ER1
But russian air force not retrofitted R-27ER & R-27ET until MiG-29S (9-12S & 9-13S)
But now unlike december 2023 & march 2024
The MiG-29 9.12 and 9.13 had R-60Ms when they entered service. The MiG-29 entered service before the R-73.
About them never having R-27ERs, you know how Gaijin is when it comes to weapons that weren’t used, but could have been used.
They haven’t changed their ways since then, if anything they started doing it more. Just look at the Eurofighters carrying Brimstone 1s.
But not 50% off, so I won’t be able to afford it :')
And I will only be able to afford it 50% off because I already have 23 GJCs from the last event vehicle, so I will only need to actually spend like 12€ lmao

Since MiG-29S (9-12S & 9-13S) til Su-30SM armed R-27ER & R-27ET
The soviet MiG-29UB Limited infrared Air-to-Air Missile only (including R-73), and place before MiG-29 (9-13)
But I don’t know battle rating 12.3 or 12.7
The first aircraft pre-order pack to rank VIII for soviet might be MiG-29S (9-12S)
Gajin ready brimstone 2 for Tornado GR.4 & Typhoon FGR.4 in 2026 or Q2 2027
May I ask what your first language is?
No offense, but I find it increasingly difficult to understand what you are trying to say.
Wait 2 years
WVR & BVR Air-to-Air Missile like Su-30SM2 and Su-35S ?
Gajin ready Su-35 for russian and china 4 or 5 years
Gajin would add Su-30SM2 from russian navy to 1st line, maybe
My money is on either the MiG-29M or some form of Flanker coming as a premium in the next 2 patches.
