I was inspired to write this article by the planned Battle Rating changes: if we can give the Yak-141 the R-73, we should give it to the MiG-29 too.
The MiG-29 (9.13) does not have the capability to operate the R-27ER, and in 13.0 the German MiG-29 was equipped with the R-73, and in 12.3 there was a MiG-21 that could use a very similar payload. Therefore, for both game balance and equipment accuracy, the R-27ER should be removed from the MiG-29 and the R-73 should be given.
