As much as I love R-27ER, I would exchange it for R-73 (at least for Hungarian since it is the only one I have so far). Don’t care much at what br it will eventually sit, same as with Italian F-16ADF receiving its historical AMRAAMs.

I think the MiG-29 with R-27R/T and R-60M/R-73 can stay at its current BR just fine. The R-73 is a giant upgrade over the R-60M but its not some game breaking missile even at 12.7

The news today is the BRs are getting decompressed, which makes Mig-29s with R-73s permanently 13.0.
My issue with that is the east german 9-12A and russian 9-13 seem pretty useless. Why fly those when the next immediate plane is just better in almost every single way for a slight BR increase? The MiG-29G has R-27ERs, R-27ETs, and R-73s while maintaining the same flight performance and avionics, all for a 0.3 BR increase. The east german 9-12 is pretty much redundant if you have both.
The SMT is an even bigger upgrade for air to air, with a better radar, R-77s, R-27ERs, R-27ETs, and R-73s, at the cost of jumping to 13.3 and losing flight performance.
Id much rather see the 9-12A and 9-13 get the R-73 added and the 27ER removed, remain at 12.7, and the 29G and SMT remain unchanged in terms of armaments.
Fly them because they are 12.7 and not 13.0.
If anything remove R-27ERs and move them to 12.3.
that’s plain silly, give it r73 and make it 13.0…
There’s a perfectly good Mig-29G for you to play.
in another tree lil dude lol how can you make such an asinine statement over and over is frankly hilarious.
This argument will never not be funny to me.
“I want my Soviet MiG-29 to have R-73s!”
“Well, Germany has the MiG-29G, just go play that.”
“Is that the Soviet MiG-29?”
“No.”

I don’t wanna grind out a whole ass tech tree to play a plane that the nation that I already play should have

And it’s not even that good because the flankers so are much better at the exact same BR.
No Mig-29 in war thunder can be considered great right now, and it’s all because of dumb loadout decisions and complete lack of effort put into decompression.
The 12.7 Mig-29s should get R-73s and lose their R-27ERs since it would put them in a better position, and the Mig-29 Sniper should get R-73s and go to 13.0.

Tbh I think that if we swap R-27ER for R-73 it still be BR 12.7.
Mainly when we will compare it with Su-27 which is on BR 13.0 and it have armament on a completely different level (and also 96 chaffs/flares compared to 60).
The question is what Gaijin is still waiting for.
problem is that we need more decompression, R-73 + HMD on a 4th gen frame is going to really mess with 11.7-12.3 planes in downtier if we keep it at 12.7 with R-27R + R-73.
If we move it to 13.0 with R-27R + R-73 its going to be mid as hell compared to Su-27s, F-15A and MiG-29G
So in reality we need a br level to fit between those two levels and that can only be achieved with decompression
I agree. But until then I think it’s closer to 12.7 than 13.0.

True I agree as well it’s closer to 12.7 with the R27R + R73 loadout rather than 13.0 but it’s still gonna club hard on 11.7 planes if it stays 12.7 with that new loadout

Somehow I read it as “mig-21” at first…
