id guess so, idk
the 29 handbook doesnt have turncharts in the usual way but SEP and max sustainable G charts wich makes calculating to true turncharts really tricky
Glad that they didn’t model horrible TF30s compressor stalls.
Once the engine flames out, you will have to set the throttle to idle once.
A is faster at higher altitudes but the TF-30s were a reliablity nightmare.
They should fix the Russian radars, but mig 29 with R 73 would be too powerful at even 12.7.
R-27ER is just balanced. Its powerful SARH but limited amount.
Gen 4 IRCCM is for 13.0+.
wym by fix the russian radars
there is nothing to fix they just were that bad and there is nothing to change for the Mig-29 radar wise,
the Su-27 on the other hand hat DL to compensate for the bad radar tho
Magic 2 at 12.0 on the Mirage F1
Magic 2 at 12.3 on the M2K
r-73 + HMS at 12.3 on the Mig-21 Bison
Magic 2 at 12.7 on the M2K
and those are only the fighters, as it wouldnt be that fair to compare a fighter to an attacker

They struggle to lock anything. Their tracking is okay, but you have to attempt multiple times to get a lock.
Don’t get me started on the awful tall ACM box (I know this isn’t a bug)
pro tip:
switch to IRST to get an ACM lock and then switch to radar to achive a much faster lock
honestly, just limit the mig29 at 4x r73, dont even give it r27r and put it at 12.7
its fm is bad and rwr is mid compared to other 13.0
MIG 29 12.7 needs a buff… what do ya mean make it even worse lol
Theres not 1 reason id take it over the F14: 4 x fox 3, 2x fox 1 and 2x fox 2
MIG29 has 2 good missiles and thats it. Su27 owns it all day for+ 0.3BR.
MIG 29 needs R27Ers and 2x 27ETs at 12.7 or pimp.it to.13.0 and give it r73s.
Why woukd anyone pick it.over a flanker?
14.0 uptiers make it a pain sometimes, looking forward for 14.3 br
my take is that they should make it historical, leave it at 12.7 and if it is really that OP they can still change the BR
my concern is that, as it stands currently, the Mig-29s will be completly irrelevant in simulator after the upcoming BR changes due to 12.7 and 13.0 always being in the same bracket, which makes the soviet 9.13 completly irrelevant as you can just play the mig-29g ontop of russia not having any 13.0 plane for sim
a historical Mig-29 could remedy that situation a bit by giving the 9.13 atleast a bit of a fighting chance against the likes of the F-15A or Gripen at closer ranges while completly negating its ability to contest them at longer ranges

i really wouldnt like a mig29 without the er at the same br with a flanker, not to mention the planes with 9m and 7m at the same br, thats why 12.7 is perfect for it, but with 4x+ r73 + 2x r27r/6x r37 it sounds a little bit op, thats why limiting it to 4x r73 at 12.7 would give it a breathing space, which would inturn different playstyle and experience than other planes.
I somehow do better in the su27 than the su27sm. I blame the bad r77s but alas…
Fair 12.7 is a much favorable BR… but its not even close how much better the SU27 is than mig29.
Mig29 at 12.7 with r60’s has got to.be comparativly the most underpowered jet in WT history

r60 at 12.7 sound prett useless, i dont have the mig29 yet, but seeing performance of r60m on 11.7, yeah that is pretty much dead weight

it isnt that op as it would have to close the distance first at a br where phoenixes get spamed with an rwr that just isnt that great
and we already have the r73 at a lower br on a fighter and same for the Magic 2 which are pretty compareable imo and the magic to is also seen on a 4th gen with way better flight performance than the mig-29 and paired with more CMs and a MAWs (in case of the 12.7 M2K)
currently the Mig-29 sits at a BR where it is sournded by jets that do way better than it in terms of flight performance avionics and in some cases missile kit
it is if you grind the mig-29 go for napalm it is litteraly more useful than 2 r-60s

i swore to never bomb in a fighter anymore

i didnt even do it in the F-4S (my first premium)
but i deemed the napalm more useful than the r-60 at 12.7
heck i even used the su-39 as an air to air fighter instead of bombing with it
it is called Su-25TM due to my language mod

Can the MIG 29.only carry 2 x SAHR missiles IRL?
If not 4x 27ers and 2 R60s
Or 2 x 27ers 2 x 27ETs and 2 R60s.
Its pretty hard to balance with poor flight model and only 6 pylons when the awesome flanker is 0.3 higher.
I watched defn mig29 vs f16 last night and was a really fair fight… im guessing it was nerfed hard sometime after?
