I know its disadvantages and I work around that. Much better than the average F-16 radar, which doesn’t even have TWS.
The F-18 or MLU don’t have access to HMD so the mig29a is still an arguably superior radar kit
why would you need TWS when you are going to hardlock the target anyways
Yes, they are very effective at those ranges, unlike sparrows
wraping this discussion up:
Therse is no cure for stupid.
im out
I guess you never survived till late game or clutched a match
F-15A should be 13.3 now that decompression is occurring again.
I still don’t use R-27ERs on 29G, only on 29 9.12 and more recently 9.13.
I climb to 9000 meters with 9.12/9.13 and out-range anyone and everyone because R-27ER acceleration is cracked.
For 29G I play it like I do F-16A and like I did Gripen, because 2x ERs are pretty much variety when they replace R-73s.
Don’t be sad. You might find your cure someday.
i guess you are unable to follow the line on your radar screen yourself
and if you are unable to use a radar without TWS to fire Fox-1 missiles then iam out of words
YOU DONT USE ERs ON THE 29G ???
you have 0 point in talking about this plane
I hereby revoke your talking time
@Merf_HD
6x R-73s is funnier and simpler. There’s no reason for me to use any other loadout with that jet.
And with my 1.9:1 KDR in my Mig-29G, it works great.
Radar line doesn’t give as much info as a soft tws lock does it? You will need to fly straight and have many scans till you have a reliable heading cue, not to mention speed
i still can see where the guy is flying in RWS, i can see his closure rate/ speed in PDV
you do not need TWS to fire fox-1 missiles
“why use 2x guaranteed kills if you can use 2x likely kills”
This is like replacing the R24 with R60s on the MiG-23
try that shit in sim pls where the opponents have more braincells than a brick wall and aircraft performance is more important
id really like to see how good your K/D gets when you actually have to use your plane instead of abusing stupid lobbies

You’re confusing radar with HMS. HMS can be used without a radar.
What you mean to say is that F-18 and MLU have better radars, but MiG-29 has HMS, which is a big advantage in your eyes.
Back in the day I was thinking like that as well, omg Su-27 and even MiG-29 have TWS while F-15A doesn’t.
Until I got MiG-29 and realized that its radar scan speed is too slow for TWS to function properly as you would expect on F-16C for example. It loses targets pretty easily if they maneuver, because it doesn’t get updates fast enough. It’s still a nice thing to have for extra info about heading and speed, but it doesn’t make the MiG-29’s radar better surprisingly.
So we agree that having TWS is better than not
if you are unable to use a radar without TWS it is a skill issue, i never use it on the mig29 because at ranges where you need to use your radar a guy in the late phases of the match will easily defeat your r27
dosent matter if kinematically or through multipathing
in my entire 700 hours of DCS and Warthunder flying the 29 I have never once bothered with the 29s TWS
its scanrate is horrifically ass
Mig-29 outaccelerates, outspeeds, outrolls and has a dogfight advantage over the F-14A or B
dont even bother
his frontal lobe seems to spongy
