The new mig29 overheats too quickly. You get a good 5 seconds of afterburner before the engines are fully in the red and blinking, in a desert map you get at max 2 secs. The engines are powerful but you cant use them half of the time and also why is the Mig 29 at 13.7 while the 13.7 f16s are better than it in every single aspect imaginable, engines, speed, weapons, gun, maneuvering, cas, missles radar etc. even the f14d is stronger than the 29 only because of the new aim54c+ and its at 12.7. At least give the 29 r77-1s to make it competitive, because with r77 all you can do is stick to the ground and try to flank or just get below the enemy because their missles range is 3 times yours, they also have 4 times the countermeasures and better radars and idk how they have made this mig 29 even more of a brick than the smt. please gaijin give it the r77-1s it been a long time now and the r77 are okay but the r77-1s will help in bvr a lot and at 13.7 i think r77-1s will not be overpowered as every match i have played has been with su30sm, and su30mkk with the pl12s. Thanks for reading and spending time on my post and forgive me for any errors since i typed this while stock grinded the mig29k i dont think i need to elaborate any further.
i dont even have to open your profile to know you never played F-16 or AMRAAM in general.
If you have sources to prove that it is incorrect in the game compared to IRL then you can make a historical report for it here: Gaijin.net // Issues (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about)
A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)
They do have some requirements for sources when it comes to historical reports:
Throttle down then.
F-14D doesn’t have AMRAAMs, so obviously it’s inferior to Mig-29K.
i actually have played f16ams and sufas from a friends account they are good tbh
Use up to 108% WEP on start or on takeoff then only throttle up once at high altitudes.
Trust me though, the F-16s, literally all of them, are worse both kit, radar and FM wise ( FM only by a tiny margin if at all).
It ain’t that bad tbh. ( Also stock grind sucks dihhfor any jet, not just the 29, so chillax)
As for R-77-1s, you really don’t need them. Close to 20-25km and throw the 77s out. They’re almost guaranteed to give you kills.
avoid writing in all caps
Because if someone flags your post, the bot automatically hides it for being written in all caps.
what a coincidence. does this friend have a name?
It is literally one of the best flight models in the game, capable of keeping up with the best F-16 for duelling in a duel
no he dosnt sadly i have no friends in the game
yeah i was a lil angry while stock grinding it, its a good flight model but i feel the speed is restricted a bit at the deck
The overheating is the engine running in emergency thrust mode, use 109% when playing normally.
The flight model is actually very capable is top 4 among dog fighters
110% is perfectly fine above 4km alt actually
that depends on the map
on hotter maps like Sinai it is 5km
True, I typically fly at 5-7km anyways so it’s no big issue for me
