Pages of History: MiG-29: Speed and Maneuver

I agree. No reason for it to be the same BR as an F-16 with only Aim-9Ls (especially with the 9Ls ahistorical flare resistance).

Personally, I’d rather have the 29A lose the R-27ERs and have it move down to 12.3, rather than it moving up and making the 29G irrelevant.

That and Soviets can get a new Mig-29 for an R-73 peak loadout; which allows 9.13 to be unique in loadout.

The majority of aircraft shot down during the Vietnam war weren’t American. They only accounted for ~34%. I’m from the United States of America.

Yes, but even adding the amount of aircraft left behind by the USA during the fall of Saigon/USA withdrawal and the total of American aircraft shot down, it’s still MUCH lower than the total amount of Russian/North Vietnamese aircraft shot down during the war. This is why I’m surprised that he only remarked on the “American” scrap, despite it being of the minority. Unless he was exclusively referring to abandoned aircraft.

Should i be surprised that aircraft got shot down during the war?
“Oh wow vietnam shooting down US aircraft during the war amazing!!”

Where is the speed and maneuver? I just see one flying brick

Unless they give them 9M along with R-73 for mig
(Which i’m sure mig players really don’t want early F-16 to have 9M)

The difference between going full elevator in a sustained turn in normal RB controls and going full elevator in full real on dampening is quite noticable, atleast in AOA. Seems like the instructor is holding the MiG-29 back too much

Going full elevator once you have full reflexes honed is almost impossible to do accidentally in air RB.

Minor mouse movement and/or ASDW keys.

As for instructor, it will do a lot of AOA, up to 13Gs worth; your job in any aircraft that will do more Gs than your sustained is to reduce the G-limit to sustained with key pressed and/or minor mouse movement.

You’ll become better at managing energy in air RB with those tactics.

What are you even talking about? You completely missed what I said

That information is completely false, in reality Vietnam only has a small number of Mig-17 and Mig-15 aircraft. Currently there are still many wrecks of B-52, F-4, F-105 aircraft lying in ponds, lakes, and rivers.
