all of them besides the F-20 have TWS
also the HMS dosent change the function of the radar
the radar is the thing that searches for stuff and the mig29 radar does a pretty bad job at that
BETTER FLIGHT MODEL THAN A F18???
the f18 outaccelerates, outturns, outrates and out-AOAs the 29 dawg???!??!
the only thing the 29 is better at is climbing

Still one of the best 12.7 radars, only yak141 is better
a mig29 limited to only 4 R73s and 27Rs would be a case of asymmetrical balance compared to the mirage as the 29 would get 2 more missiles, while the mirage would have; almost triple the amount of countermeasures, much better avionics and much better flight model.
i just listed you 4 radars that are better than it and some of them are at a lower br
@Merf_HD
So we agree that the thrust curve on Mig-29 is incorrect. Good.
Negative? The only aircraft I get near negative on are bombers for spading, because bombing takes time and is inherently more dangerous.
F-14A: 2:1.
F-14B: 1.7:1.
F-15J: 1.5:1.
F-15JM: 1.5:1.
F-16AJ: 2:1.
F-2A: 2:1.
F-4EJ Kai: 2:1.
F-18C Late: 1.9:1.
Mig-29 9.12: 2:1.
Mig-29G: 1.9:1.
I do not and will never know how to be the best fighter pilot, nor do I care to.
Defyn is a better source of knowledge in that regard.
the F15E is a bomber?
F-18 is too slow after mach1, and bleeds too much speed on top of that. Mig-29 goes 1500kph on the deck, and it’s not much worse in turning or energy retention.
Mig-29 is a better FM for the meta. Not everything is about merging 1v1 duels
But they aren’t better. Mig29 has a reliable medium prf pd radar and HMD. Stop coping. Only the yak141 is better under 13.0
do you ratefight at mach 1.3, or how does more speed help your flight model against the F18?
also ignoring the fact that the F18 does not nearly compress as bad as the 29 at 0.8-1.0mach

one of the best jokes i heard
i will take any mprf pd radar over the N019
all you are showing is that you never bothered to actually using the radar outside of the HMS
how many other 13.0s pull 11Gs at high speeds?
13G?
15G?
some even more?
what the fuck is the point?

Are you aware that the mig-29A outrates the F-18? Regardless of that the mig-29 can even ignore the F-18 because he can’t catch you, only has sparrows and 9L that are 1 flared easily
we can do a mirror matchup and ill show you that I 100% know more about ratefighting in the MiG-29 than any other person in this forum lmao
(im a nascar)

((the reason why the 29 wont win is because the F18 has a smaller turn radius))

R-27R does have advantages, I’m not saying it’s worse in every way.
It’s much worse for BVR than AIM-7F/M and its HOBS capabilities don’t really matter, they only matter for Fox 3s.
R-27R is better than AIM-7F/M in situations where you would fire an AIM-9 or R-73.
Try a 1v1 with a friend, F-14A with 2 AIM-7Fs vs F-14A IRIAF with 2 R-27Rs and let us know if you’ve changed your mind.
Most of my matches I get a kill by launching a 27ER at long range and using my TWS radar to lock>launch>unlock> turn away and turn my radar to the target>soft lock> lock when 27ER is near target.
Furthermore there is no radar/missile combo more reliable for all aspect than the R-27R/ER with the mig29 or yak141
I still do that with 27Rs but under 15-20km (where I only need to use HMD)
Also back to the 29
The F15A sits at the same BR as the 29G, and with ERs id say both are somewhat decently balanced against each other.
but without ERs?
the 29A would get eaten for breakfast at the same BR, there is no way a 29A with only R73 is defeating a 9M slinging F15A
you dont seem to notice something when using the TWS in the mig-29 compared to oter radars
it dosent automatically adjust your radar to stay on the target, ontop of struggeling to find targets in the first place which will any US radar at the BR do better
the point of this is about removing the ER
The R27Rs effective range if the target is maneuvering is like 8km dawg
