Exactly, to 650+, meaning that speed and more.
Which documents prove.
There was a linguistic error initially that caused confusion, but it was corrected once I noticed the error.
stop lying thats not what you orignially said

After careful thought, I think it’s best if it stays the way it is while working on improving the flight model. R73 are not great in a BVR br.
and the Mig-29 is not supposed to have the capebilities to do BVR
the r-27r and r-73 are good enough of a combo to defend yourself in BVR but not to actively engage in it, as it should be, the Migs strenght should lie in WVR and not BVR
it is awfully missrepresented in War Thunder

Well due to the matchmaking, I’d say it would be a big nerf if it was made to fight planes that have well over 4-6 SARH missiles fired at you at 8km or more.
it wouldnt really be a nerf, you would have to adjust your playstyle tho
even currently you only have 2 radar missiles and if you fail to kill your enemy at range with them you will be dead in the water once they get close because you are outclassed in WVR against pretty much any other jet
the r-27r and r-73 would be a way more balanced loadout where you lose some BVR performance but you will be competitive in WVR and average in BVR
sure the r-27r would be a downgrade from the r-27er but that will only make you lose early game precence (in rb), which you already dont have too much of with the Mig-29
and the lackluster avionics dont really help with BVR either

Do you record any duel gameplay by any chance? I’m curious to see how you go about it if that’s the case.
That’s applied to everything. If you go about turning full aggressive outside of certain circumstances, you are already making mistakes.
Now it’s average at best? Which is which?
Compared to what? It’s quite decent when compared to its competition, gets outclassed by F-16s but still good for 12.7
That’s a bit biased. F-16 ADF can only reliably kill the MiG-29 if it decides to commit in a dogfight. A SARH joust is completely in the mig-29 favour, so is altitude because of it. Also, you can easily outaccelerate and outrun the F-16s in a straight line. F-16 ADF enjoys a better FM, Mig-29 enjoys a better loadout.
Both have pros and cons and both are decently balanced at 12.7 (compression issues apart)
He’s the guy that invented merf rating, it’s something fairly well known in the sim community. There’s probably a simplysinful (good sim dueler) vid on him. basically he rate fights at mach jesus and forces everyone to run unlimited fuel
Never heard of that term. Merf rating doesn’t come up on google or the forum search. What does that mean?
Also, do you remember the video title or anything related to that video? I don’t know that youtube channel and there’s nothing with merf on the video titles.
Are you talking about using/abusing trim controls? What do you mean by forces everyone to run unlimited fuel? That’s just a custom lobby setting
term in a bunch of sim discords, probably won’t show up on forums. i bet @ron_23 would know it.
not sure if its trim or not, in duels he would play with unlimited fuel on.
Most people do. Thats default practise from what i’ve seen since ever. Minimum fuel and unlimited fuel. He has a young account, I’m sure that’s not his “invention”. If anyone “invented” that was gaijin lol
So make it useless?
I don’t think you do. I doubt you’ve seriously sat down and looked at their performance.
With a crap FM?
Why would this stay the same BR if it lost its r27er
Why would one of the worst 13.0s stay 13.0 after losing 2 out of the 3 good missiles it has.
No.
No.
In what world does this make any sense? The MiG-29 is incredibly mediocre as is and would become straight garbage with your changes.
Irrelevant.
No… you literally never get details right?
no it didnt
Why are you still engaging with alvis, he changes his opinion to be the opposite of yours during debates because he intentionally and solely wants to be a contrarian. That is hobby. He will say one thing one day then the next day say the complete opposite because the guy he’s talking to had a new opinion.
Why? This seems like people dumbing down the mechanics.

Gotta learn how to fly the plane first before having to also take fuel management into account
but you said its default duel practice period
It’s just what people do. I mean, the whole duel custom match setup is already dumbed down since you start with an airspawn facing the enemy with similar relative fuel load.
Most people play duels on unlimited fuel. But naturally, it won’t fully translate to the usual outcomes in a normal match. I don’t think it needs a justification, you do whatever you want since its a custom match I guess?
Pretty much more ammunition for me to continue to disregard duel meta or duel topics in general when talking about air rb tbh
Yes, you might disregard such comparisons, in many cases it won’t result in different outcomes, but for example:
Mig-29 vs F-14 - Mig29 has a slight advantage on unlimited fuel, and more advantage on limited fuel.
F-14 vs J7E - Fight can keep up forever if both play to their strenghts with unlimited fuel, on limited fuel the J7E will probably win most times
Never said that
Well at least thats what I intrepreted
no it isnt default neither for the sim community nor the rb dueling community
(i would say that willy isnt using unlimited fuel, it isnt the norm)
