Well sharing accounts is not allowed XD.
so you never played the mig-29
Lets just imagine a fake jet that plays at 12.7
Has fox 2 while fighting fox 3
Saving graces:
Good flight model- nope
A ton of CMs - no again.
See it doesnt even matter what the 12.7 is - if it still has no redeeming quality to over come its difficiencies like the mig29.
A bad jet is goung to be made worse for 16 vs 16. Simple as.
you know that having FnF missiles is better for 16 vs 16?
becasue you can engage multiple ppl at once
Iv just had this experience with the 13.0.gripen.
Only just unlocked the 9ms but feel.like im negative 50 kills or something and they are not going to make it any easier.
I dont even have a horse in the race as a few runs was all i needed to know its a way worse flanker and it can stay unlocked on tree for good.
But still, these change threads never come to any good.
The blame lies with gajin … they dont play the game and it shows so even “improvements” - see recent harrier buff ends up somehow worse than ever.
If the choice is Leave the jet or forum idea = leave jet every time as it can and will be worse after gajin do their thing.
It’s not about pleasing MiG-29 players, it’s about making the MiG-29 as realistic and balanced as possible.
This mentality of “it needs to benefit me” ruins the game for everyone.
Working around plane’s weaknesses is fun, because without a challenge there is no satisfaction from succeeding.
However, it’s only fun if the weaknesses of the plane are true to real life. No one wants to work around weaknesses made up by some Gaijin employee, people want to face the reality, not someone’s personal vision.

It has less range than the 7F/7M but is overall better, mainly because IOG+DL, tracks much better in all aspect and is harder to notch because you can’t do it at last second like with the sparrows.
It also turns tighter and can somewhat be used in HOBS

I like the 27r more than the 7f because it reaches it peak speed in like 6.5 seconds while the 7f takes like 15 seconds to reach its max speed. In close range shots which is most shots you take anyways 27r is gonna be better. Plus you can’t out roll it

Its essencially the best 12.7 jet for long range engagements, the radar works absolutely fine on hard locks at long range and you also have TWS
The datalink on the 27er is very useful for that and I often get the first kill of the match at very long ranges, often its the F-14s that ram into it because the missile is flying blind for most of the way since I unlock my radar and switch to TWS to re-lock quickly when the time comes, this way they only get a warning when its already too late.

He can test drive the 29 sniper now, only difference is the PTW RWR
And thats why it wouldnt sit at 12.7 no more
The wyvern can kill an entire enemy team twice over… If they let you that is.
The F-18 is very slow to make proper use of the aim-120s, It will get constantly pushed out by faster jets. A rafale with 2 micas would mop the floor against the F-18 with a full loadout

->mig-29 avionics not the best
->no they arent you just need to do all those extra steps and workarounds

Theres nothing to balance… the jet is already grim.
You have it twisted. Its the Realism that ruins the game. See ki200 and its 1 min of usable fuel. So much fun or…
Go have a look at any youtube videos comments about the changes to the F16A… not 1 happy chap in sight - realism in action.
The jet/ loadout you are lobbying for is DOA.
I am only saying that the mig-29 is available for test flight for any account. No need for insults. Your presumptuous demeanor is getting old.
Who’s talking about workarounds? I’m talking about an exclusive feature that the Mig-29 and the Yak-141 have over their competition at 12.7. Its not a workaround, its an advantage.
F-18’s acceleration is not too high in War Thunder.
The implications of that would mean F-16C’s acceleration is too high.
It was literally designed to rate fight.
You don’t put rate fight wings/etc on an aircraft and then expect not to rate fight.
It was designed for carrier landings but thats a side consequence/bonus. The downside is the drag at speed
No it wasn’t, only DCS larpers think that.
A bit of a sidenote, but i actually find it hilarious that DCS is single handedly convincing it’s player base on how the F18 is actually the best dogfighter of all time and nothing comes close to it

Yes, because doctrine is slowly going away from being able to go mach 2 and more about avionics and weapons to save maintenance and fuel costs.
@Farlexgamer_psn
I like how you strawman an argument to support your first argument.
Your argument is getting closer to implying and claiming F-2A’s lift profile also wasn’t designed for high rate.
No one here, I repeat zero people are claiming F-18C is the best dogfighter in the world.
The best hypothetical dogfighter is a subsonic fighter that uses a high-thrust engine and lifting surface design that is good for subsonic drag and a control surface design that allows the drag to stay relatively low in high aspects [and other details I’m forgetting at this time]; no one’s going to make that aircraft though.
